Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

◆ Rox Kingdom Knight Lember

Please, Sir Lembert.

The king's words, which have just been said, are heavily overwhelmed.

I am a knight of the Rocks kingdom, and I must obey the king's orders.

It was very sad.

Leave the castle and walk the streets of the city. Even though it is night time, there are many people.

Everyone must be busy preparing for the festival that starts tomorrow.

But this festival didn't seem very good to me now.

As you walk, you arrive at the store of your choice.

The name of the shop is a restaurant and tavern called "White Scale Pavilion". There was supposed to be someone here.

I enter the store. When I enter the store, there are many people because it is dinner time.

This white scaling pavilion is a special shop in Rocks Kingdom. Why it is special is because the customers in this store are different.

Almost all the customers in this shop are armed.

Outside this walls are full of monsters, and even ordinary people who come from outside often possess one of the blades. However, because ordinary people are only armed when monsters emerge, the shop's customers are armed with armor, shields, multiple weapons, etc., and not ordinary travelers.

Their bodies are also muscular enough to live normally, indicating that they are human beings exposed to rough events.

Freedom fighter.

That's what they call them.

If the knights are public, they can be considered private knights. The security of the streets connecting each country is an important matter in every country. Therefore, the knight defeats the monsters that descend on the street.

However, it was a reality that peace on the streets could not be preserved only by knights tied to the framework of the state.

For example, cooperation between countries is not working well, or there are financial problems.

In addition, the demands of people passing through the streets between countries did not stop, and it was difficult for the country to respond to everything.

That's why there's a demand for what we call freedom fighters. They can move freely compared to knights. Knights basically cannot move without orders from kings and kingdoms, but freedom fighters are not. Listen to other citizens' requests or act quickly if you feel you need them. Knights can't move without orders and only defend their country, whereas freedom fighters go to defend themselves if they decide they need something other than their own.

And this white scale was a gathering place for such freedom fighters. It is common in Rox kingdom for anyone who wants something from a Freedom Warrior to come to this store.

Most of the freedom fighters here are freedom fighters gathered at Rox's behest.

The Rocks kingdom had been cleaning monsters around the kingdom for a festival starting tomorrow. And the cleaning work was finished today. Thanks to them, those who pass through the streets leading to Rox won't have to be afraid of monsters for a while. And the Freedom Warriors were gathered in this shop at the launch of their work.

I walk around the shop looking for the person I want. It was easy to find the person of interest.

The man is big anyway. He looks like a bear. It stood out despite being in the back seat.

The man is turning his back on us. Approach the man.

When I was about 30 years old, there were countless muscles and scars on my short cut black hair, sunburnt face, and bare arms that were unusual to ordinary people.

You realize you're approaching, the man turns to us.

"Hey, it's Lember. You still look depressed."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gallios, have you had enough injuries yesterday?

"Oh, I don't know. I got Nimri to cast the magic of healing on me. I can move now."

Gallios smiles loudly.

He almost died, but he couldn't stand it at all. Aren't people afraid to die when they become freedom fighters?

Gallios is a freedom fighter living in this Rox kingdom. He is also a former knight and his own seniors. He just died yesterday in a monster hunt.

I approach the table where Gallios sits.

I noticed someone sitting there opposite the table where Gallios sat.

The line is thinner than the big Gallios.

The presence of Gallios was too large and I didn't notice it when I came in.

"Is Kuro with you? Hello, Kuro."

Interpret.

And look at the black. A young man with a strange atmosphere not seen around here.

She looks very well on dark, dark hair. If you dress up a little more, you won't leave your young daughter alone.

Of course, this young man doesn't seem to like to be too noisy.

I also wanted to ask Kuro about this case. Just right with Gallios.

Hello, Master Lembert.

Kuro will also look at us and interpret.

Kuro is not a Freedom Warrior, but he is in this store.

It was last night that I met Kuro.

Last night, my sister, his wife, told me that Gallios, who was on his way to exterminate the monsters, had not returned.

There are many monsters that are nocturnal in nature, whereas the human eye is nocturnal in contrast, and death is the same when the night falls outside the walls. It is the same for a skilled warrior.

When I was wondering whether I should go looking for Gallios or not on the walls, a cloud carrying Gallios appeared.

Gallios lost consciousness and fell off a small cliff during a battle with goblins and orcs this afternoon.

I managed to get back, but my feet didn't move and it was dark in the evening. I was rescued by Kuro, who happened to pass by.

My sister was very pleased that Gallios saved her life.

As it was, Gallios had Kuro take it to Nimri Sensei, where he could use the magic of healing, and heal it.

Black's body is thin. Even in this country, it doesn't look like you can walk in the woods with poor scaffolding, carrying the giant Gallios, who compete for 1.2 in size. Gallios said he walked in the woods at night without turning on the lights.

Dr. Nimri said that Kuro could use dark vision magic. In other words, this young man named Kuro may have been a magician.

It is also convincing to think that I could walk through the woods carrying a much bigger gallius than I did. They must have used magic I didn't know to carry Gallios.

The presence of a sorcerer is precious. If Kuro is a magician, he would love to live in this country. I can only call him a magician in this country now. The pharmacist woman who has been living in this town for two weeks seems to be able to use a little magic, but she doesn't seem to have enough ability to call herself a magician.

Mr and Mrs Gallios are taking care of Crowe, the saviour of life, while he stays in the country.

Kuro doesn't seem to speak of luxury, so it seems easy to take care of him. Rather, Black seems to like simplicity. Both of them are still eating, but the food is common ingredients. Again, while Gallios is drinking ale, Kuro is a herbal tea. Yesterday I tried to buy a drink in gratitude for saving Gallios, but she didn't drink it because it was Misenen.

I don't know what Missenen is, but is it some sort of commandment?

I thought he was like a training monk.

I think there is no gap in how to walk, and I have some kind of training.

This afternoon, Kuro went out with other freedom fighters to exterminate the monster. I acted with freedom fighters as a knight of the kingdom, but Kuro fought brilliantly. I didn't think I could fight with just one sword. Even if I used magic, I don't think I could move like that. You must be learning some sort of combat technique from standing up.

I could say that this mission is perfect for someone who doesn't have the lust to use magic or fight.

"By the way, what's the matter, Lember? It's probably not off-duty today."

Gallios questions.

The guards will keep security inside the walls, but some of the knights will have to be packed in the castle for the time being. I would have had to be in the royal castle.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you to fold into Senpai Gallios...."

I'll tell you what I came here for.

"Well, that doesn't seem to be all. Okay, let's talk about it."

Then Kuro stood up.

"If it's a complicated story, would you leave your seat?

Kuro distracts me.

"No, I wanted to ask Kuro-san...."

"Me too?

Yes, to Lord Kuro too.

Kuro sat down again.

Kuro had a strange expression on his face.

But don't hesitate to keep talking.

"All I need is someone to escort me."

"Guard?"

"Yes, it has been decided that someone will hurry to this country. Your Majesty ordered me to escort him, but I was a little worried. I need your help."

"Someone? Foreign royalty or something?

I shake my head at Gallios' words. Some royalty is still better when it comes to who's coming.

"No, it's not. comparable to that."

"Hmm. Who is that?

Gallios listens in surprise.

"Actually, the brave Reiji and his wives are coming tomorrow... what's wrong with Kuro?!

All of a sudden, Kuro blew out the tea that was in his mouth.

The tea blown out hits Gallios in the front.

"S... I'm sorry, Mr. Gallios..."

Kro apologizes to Gallios.

"No, I'm fine... what's the matter, Master Kuro?"

I was surprised at Kro and Gallios. The state of Kuro was not just fine.

"No, I'm sorry... I just swallowed... Keep talking."

The symptoms subsided while I coughed with my brown cheeks.

"Ah, let's get back to it, why are the braves here again? Are you seeing the festival tomorrow?

Gallios asked while wiping his face with a cloth.

"That seems to be the case... Senpai Gallios. Are you aware that Hero Reiji has been injured?

"Ah, the dark knight certainly hit me so hard. I honestly thought the only way to hurt that brave man was with God, but the world is wide."

"That's what I thought. That's why Reggie is here to heal the dark knight's wounds."

This Rox kingdom is famous for its hot springs. Tourism from the hot springs may be the country's main source of income.

"So I need you two to help me escort the brave."

That's how I see the two faces.

Gallios and Kuro had delicate faces.

"Sir Lembert. Why do you need escorts? Ray... I hear the braves are very strong."

Kuro must have heard of the brave men, he seemed to know the strength of the brave men. It would be harder to find someone who doesn't know the most about the brave.

"Certainly Kuro-san's doubts are correct... Those who can do harm to the brave will be as stupid dark knights as God."

"Then why?

"As a matter of fact, the escort is just a name, and I want to keep away those who wake the wives of the brave ones...."

All the women with Brave Reggie are beautiful. That's why there might be another freak out there.

When the brave man came earlier, he had a strange feeling, which caused a lot of trouble.

"We can't make brave men feel uncomfortable and buy discomfort. I can't let you destroy the walls anymore...."

Speak the truth.

I see.

"No, somehow I understand....."

Gallios nods. Kuro seemed to have figured something out.

The walls on the west side of Rocks Kingdom are now about half broken.

The cause is powerful attack magic.

It is the second time that brave men have come to this country in the first place.

Last time I came here, there was a fool who made fun of the brave woman, and the angry woman broke it with magic.

A similar incident has occurred in the Republic of Saint Lenaria, where the brave men are based, and the knights of the Temple of Lena are always guarding the brave men while the brave men are in the city.

We decided to escort the brave men again to avoid the same thing that happened last time. The person in charge is me.

However, the great republic of Saint Lenaria will be able to take on as many knights as possible, but there are not twenty knights in my Rox kingdom. Considering the daily security of the streets and the maintenance of security for the festivals that start tomorrow, it is inevitable that there will be a small number of people. The guards are those who have been requisitioned by the citizens, and even the most ordinary of them are somewhat invincible to those who stand on their arms. You should try to be as trustworthy as you can.

So I chose an army of freedom fighters to defend me.

The criteria for selection are that you are not hostile to the brave and that you do not feel weird when you look at the brave women.

Gallios has been trustworthy for many years. Kuro also had a short relationship, but his arms stood up, and he didn't look calm and hostile to the brave, and seemed harmless to humans and animals, so seeing the brave women didn't seem to cause any strange thoughts.

That's why I really want you two to help me.

"So, please. Can you help me?

Lower your head to both of you.

"I don't really like it...."

Gallios says.

"In the first place, I don't think I can be your partner."

Gallios has the same attitude towards any opponent. Speak in the same tone as you speak to yourself, even if it is a royal family of another country. His Majesty King Rox doesn't care much about that, but he is quite rude in other countries.

If you succeed, you may buy the discomfort of the brave.

"No, the direct target is aluminum... and don't worry, because the princess is supposed to do it. We'll keep the brave men away from the weird ones."

Communicate the arrangement.

"Princess, you mean Alumina?

Nod to Gallios' question. Princess Alumina is the last princess of Rocks kingdom and will be seventeen this year.

I hear brave women are sweet, and judging that the same woman would not cause strange feelings to brave women, the courtesy of the perfect princess is to take care of the brave men.

"I see. I didn't expect a future couple to have a hero."

Gallios said slightly.

"Don't tear it up, senpai."

Actually, Princess Alumina is my childhood friend and fiancé.

"Alright, for you and Princess Alumina. If you're not dealing with the brave, I'll help you."

Gallios accepts that Hahaha laughs. And look at the black.

"Kuro, what about you?

To be honest, Kuro looked uncomfortable.

However, it would be helpful if Kuro, who can use magic and stands up with his arms, could help.

"Kuro, please!!

I lowered my head deeply to Kuro.

"Well, if you don't have to deal directly with a brave man...."

Kuro gave me plenty of permission.

Now we have the cooperation of both of us.

I wish I could do something about the brave man.

I had a bad feeling about the sudden visit of a brave man.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

I thought something strange had happened.

I didn't think that I would be the Guardian of the Brave, summoned to defeat the Brave.

Lember asked me to take care of it because I got acquainted with him besides Nargol.

I don't talk about meeting directly with Lember, but I think it won't be much of a problem because I just escort him from the outside.

I came near this Rox kingdom to gather ingredients made by the goddess.

Reminds me of the modesty interaction I had before I came here.

"I need dragon horns. You can't build a goddess unless it's a Dragon King horn."

That's what Modes said when he demanded a reward.

I thought you could make it as soon as possible, but it doesn't seem that way.

However, it seems that a special ingredient is needed to build the goddess, without which the goddess cannot build.

Near this Rox kingdom is a dragon called the Silver Holy Dragon King, whose horns will definitely make a goddess. Incidentally, it seems that Morna was made using the horns of the Dragon King, known as the dark Dragon King. Perhaps that's why Morna's hair is different in color from Lena's.

But isn't it a rather difficult task to get the Dragon King's horn?

According to my research, the dragon called the Dragon King was incredibly strong, and I didn't think it would be easy for me to take it.

Modes tells her to use it as if she were a child.

Or did you think it was easy because you seem pretty strong in this world?

Besides, I didn't want to hurt the dragon because of my desire.

Think about Glorious.

I came aboard Glorious to this Rox kingdom. If the unauthorized had flew in the sky, they would have fought the knights of Ellios, but they destroyed themselves.

Reflecting that it was too much to be honest. I was so rough that night that I slammed down whoever came at me without thinking too deeply. When I realized it, I apparently destroyed the Holy Knights. I heard it was devastating, but how much damage did it do? I can't confirm it even now.

Well, that's why I was able to fly Glorious without the Holy Knights.

Compared to the Nargor sky, the normal sky of this world was as clear and blue as the world I was in.

I enjoyed flying in the blue sky on a dragon.

You can fly with the magic of flying, but I think it would be better to ride a dragon if you were to fly in the sky.

If someone stole the horn of Glorious that made me feel so good, I wouldn't forgive him.

That's why I couldn't get too excited about taking the same dragon horn as Glorious.

Still, I came here because I had nothing else to do.

I thought it would be better to do something than do nothing, so I got on Glorious for now. By the way, the nuts are not together this time.

I left Glorious in a tower in the woods because I couldn't get into the city.

It seemed that the tower was abandoned and nobody lived there. The top of the tower was hollow, perfect for hiding Glorious.

I went to see how things were earlier, but Glorious looked fine.

According to Lugus, the dragon eats when it eats and eats nothing when it doesn't, and Gloria doesn't seem to eat anything now.

Thinking so much, I use hot water on my shoulders.

What I have now is a public hot spring facility in the Kingdom of Rocks.

Around them are people bathing in the same baths as themselves.

I don't feel comfortable taking the Dragon King's horn, but this hot spring was quite good. I think it's good to be here on that point.

Rox's hot spring facilities are not very elaborate, but simple stone.

Some liquid soaps are made from some vegetable oil, others are like saunas, and are quite well equipped. Soaking in the hot springs reminds me of Japan.

I miss Japan even though it's been less than a month.

Are we all worried?

Can they go home safely?

Thinking about such a thing makes my head dizzy. Looks like he's been soaking a little too much water.

"Hey, Kuro, isn't it time to get up?

Gallios, who was coming to the public bath together, called out.

Shop Gallios. A full-bodied, hairy man. There were scars all over his body, indicating how he lived.

I met Gallios yesterday evening.

I found Gallios with an injury to his leg as he was walking through the woods in search of food.

Unfortunately, my healing magic can only be used to heal myself. As a result, Gallios' injuries could not be healed. So he carried Garios with him to the Kingdom of Rox.

Apparently Gallios was quite a celebrity in the Rocks kingdom, and when I saw the Gallios I was carrying, the gatekeeper of the castle wall passed through easily. It seems to be a lie to have been paid in advance.

Actually, it was the first time I put it in the walls from the front.

However, Rox kingdom basically seems to be more free to enter and exit than any other country without even committing a crime.

This immigration policy seems to vary from country to country, with some countries not permitting entry unless they are citizens of an alliance or paying for it.

Speaking of money, this time, unlike the last trip, I bring money that can be used in human society.

As a matter of fact, the money problem that existed until the last time in the Republic of St. Lenaria was solved easily.

It is not because I have learned how to exchange gems for money.

I should have simply made money. It's called my mint money.

The currency generally in circulation around here is that issued in the Republic of St. Lenaria.

However, not only does the Republic of St. Lennaria have the right to issue money separately, and each state may cast money, nor may individuals make money differently. The question is whether it works as money.

There are metals in the world that resemble gold and silver copper, and those that make the metals circular in diameter from 2cm to 3cm are gold and silver coins.

It is likely that gold coins of the same weight as gold coins issued by the standard Republic of St. Lennaria will be used as gold coins.

In other words, as long as metals such as gold, silver and copper are available, all you can do is make money.

Of course, some people make bad money, such as bitcoins mixed with easily available metals, so be careful when accepting money.

Nargol can't take gold or silver, but it can take a little copper. From there, I mass-produced one of the bronze coins I got in the Republic of St. Lenaria. I made it myself, but I think I can do it well.

I showed this coin to Gallios, and he said it could be used normally in Rox Kingdom.

I don't have to spend this bronze coin while I'm in the Rocks Kingdom.

Because Gallios, who saved my life, is supposed to take care of me while I'm in this country thanking myself.

I was brought to the hot spring facility today. Of course, they pay the price as well.

I don't think you need to do that. I feel a little uncomfortable.

Yes, it's time to get up.

Gallios prompts me to stand up.

Gallios' gaze turned down.

"You don't look good on your face, and you're evil. It's hanging."

Gallios tells me to make fun of you.

"Hey, where are you looking!!

I hide my crotch.

I have been made fun of by the same thing several times in the original world. Actually, I've never had a good feeling about this. Instead, I have bad eyes.

"Hey, don't be so shy. Any woman would be delighted. How many people did you make cry?

Gallios laughs.

"No, I've never been with a woman before...."

I speak with a low voice.

Even if it's big, there's no point without someone to use it. No matter how big it is, the treasure is rotten.

"No matter how big I am, I don't have anybody to use it with..."

I feel a little like crying.

Honestly, I've never been with a woman. Neither do I know the opposite sex.

The only person close to her was one of Reggie's girlfriends. I didn't think I could use it in the future because I couldn't talk well with women.

Occasionally the master teases "the future is tough for the young lady", but such a future will never come, Sixik.

"No... I'm sorry about that. And I think it reminds me of something I don't like. That's right, next time I'll take you to that shop for the sacrifice."

Gallios makes a slightly more compelling suggestion.

"Eh!! Are you sure? Doesn't Mr. Penelore get angry?

Penelore is Gallios' wife. Do you understand my husband going to the store?

"Oops, that's not good. Do what you didn't just say."

Shit. Looks like you said something nice.

Afterwards, myself and Gallios leave the baths joking.

Wipe your body at the dressing room and get dressed before leaving the facility.

I've been sleeping away from Gallios's house since yesterday.

I first touched human society in this world, so I decided to postpone taking the horn of a dragon I didn't like and try to live in this city just a little bit more

When I arrived at Gallios' house, Gallios' wife welcomed me. She was talking to Renbur's sister the other day.

I'm home, Penelope.

I'm home, Mr. Penelore.

Gallios' wife Penelope is a simple woman who makes people feel calm.

Gallios says it's pretty scary to be angry, but honestly, I can't imagine this calm woman getting angry.

"Welcome back, you. Lember, my brother is here."

"What? Lember? What's wrong?"

Gallios wrinkles his neck.

I wonder myself. I just met him at a tavern. I wonder what happened when he came to see Gallios right away?

When I entered the house and went to the reception room, there was a wrench.

"I've been waiting for you, Master Kuro."

It seems that Renbur was waiting for him.

"What's the matter, Lember? Something wrong?

Gallios and herself sit across the street and ask Rember.

"Actually, there was a problem. I need Lord Kuro's help."

Lember looks at himself and says.

"Your power?

"Actually, the guards on the walls have sent word of an emergency. There are a lot of monsters outside the walls."

"What a monster!? That's weird. Isn't that a mistake?

Gallios gathered Freedom Warriors three days ago to sweep the area of monsters. I helped myself today, but there's no more monsters around Rox. It is too soon for a distant monster to come.

I thought it was highly probable that the guards on the castle wall had made a mistake. It's already night, and you can hardly see it in human eyes. I wonder how I misjudged it.

"I thought so myself... The guards say it was the goblins and the orcs that lit up the lights on the walls."

The walls are equipped with mirrored lighting that can be illuminated from afar. I think I used it.

However, I hear that Goblin hives and oak settlements around here have been swept away. Is that really the case?

"You mean you missed a few... a few survived. Oh, my God. It's a festival tomorrow."

Gallios pounded his tongue.

According to stories I heard during the day, during the festival, before the festival, monsters around Rox Kingdom are supposed to be cleaned up to make it easier for tourists to come. But apparently there was a damage.

"The shadow still seems to be near the castle wall. Fortunately, they don't seem to be able to climb the walls. But the guards say the shadow looks like a goblin or an oak, but there's something wrong with it."

"Something's wrong?

"Yes, I was a little worried, so I thought I'd go and see what's going on. I want you to come with me, Lord Kuro, who can use dark vision magic."

I see.

Gallios nodded.

"Kuro, what do we do? If we're going, we're going out."

Lember and Gallios will see us.

"Yeah, that's good. Let's go."

I feel comfortable.

Mr. and Mrs. Gallios take care of me. Lember is Gallios' brother-in-law, so he'll be thankful.

Then they headed for the walls.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

They enter the forest.

The night forest is dark, and without lantern lights and magical lights for members other than myself, members other than myself will not be able to see at all.

It is dangerous to go outside the walls at night. However, it is just near the castle wall and we are supposed to retreat as soon as anything happens.

There are four other members, myself, Gallios and Renbur.

Gallios called out to the Freedom Warrior, who was ready to move.

"That's a weird night..."

One of our members, Freedom Warrior Stellos, says. He's not from Rocks, he's from some other city. There is a bit of arrogance, but the arm stands.

"Absolutely. I can't see a lantern or a little magical light like this at all."

Another Freedom Warrior Pox says. He's from another city, just like Stellos.

Steros is still in his early 20s, and Pox is a veteran warrior older than Gallios.

"Sorry, this is the limit of my magic...."

Nimri apologizes.

He is a magician living in the Kingdom of Rocks. He may have healed Gallios' injury yesterday. It seems that he was originally abandoned at the gates of the Rox kingdom walls. He's the so-called elf bastard. The Elves have only women, and the Elves interact with other races to make children. A girl is born as an elf, and a boy is born as a father. And it's hard to live together for a variety of reasons if the race is different. The boy is abandoned in a settlement near his father's race. I guess I didn't mean to throw it away from the elf.

Children born from elves with high magic abilities are able to use magic with high magic even among species that are not good at magic. Those who possess magic in humans are precious and can be brought up for the benefit of the country. Such a child is said to become a magician in the future. That's why there are so many men in human magicians.

Nimri grew up in this country and learned magic from a court sorcerer who died ten years ago.

This nimli man is about forty years old for appearance alone, but he is actually over eighty years old. It could also be the effect of elf blood.

"I'm sorry. That's not what I meant...."

Pox apologizes to Nimri. Pox is basically a good person, but he doesn't seem to like it.

Nimri laughed because she didn't seem to care and said it was good. I also met and talked to Nimri yesterday, but she seems to like someone inside.

"Stole, do you have any idea?

Ask Stole, Gallios' ranger.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not in the Night Forest. Shouldn't I ask your brother over there?

That brother is my own business. Only I can use night vision in this. I can't use the wizard's nimli either. This is not because Nimli has low magician abilities, but it is a compatibility issue. Because I can night vision, but I can't make magical lighting like a nimli.

I am at the forefront because I can use night vision.

"Kuro, how are you?

Lember asks himself.

Surrounded.

"Ha!!?

To be honest, I hear amazing voices from around me.

Several shadows were approaching from a distance from us in the darkness of the night.

"What the hell! Who are you dealing with, Goblin or Oak?

Gallios' hasty voice.

Everyone pulls out their weapons.

"It's a goblin or an oak...."

Everyone bows their heads to their vague answers.

"Goblin or oak? What's that supposed to mean?

Gallios wonders.

"It's a goblin or an oak... that's a zombie."

I would not be able to see it to others, but I could see it clearly in my own eyes.

I don't feel alive from the goblins or orcs that are approaching from a little distance.

All of them were wounded, and some were stabbed with spears and arrows.

Lugus taught me something, but I'm pretty sure it's a moving corpse.

Zombies and other undead hate living creatures, and when they feel the signs of living creatures, they attack them.

Did they notice us? They're coming closer.

Listen to your own words, and members other than yourself make noise. We are discussing each other.

"Quite a few are approaching. Probably because of the zombies they ran into during the day."

I thought so because I found an orc that met the shadow surrounding it during the day.

This afternoon, Gallios asked me to go out with him to kill monsters in the forest.

I'm pretty sure that orc was the one that knocked it out then. There was no doubt that life was lost.

Look at the Oak Zombie. A ragged sword, ragged armor, and the same look as before. Probably using what humans were using.

I thought about it during the day, but it's completely different from the orcs in Nargor.

They looked alike, but the Orc soldiers in Nargor were united and well-armed, and they seemed to be quite courteous.

In contrast, the orcs that we encountered during the day were barbarians. It was rough and rough, and I wasn't very comfortable with it.

Originally, I would be on the monster side if I were called by the Demon King, but I want to be on the human side emotionally from the figure.

Besides, the orcs I met in the daytime caught a glimpse of their enemies as they looked at themselves. They saw themselves as a delicious food, and some oaks pointed their appetites at themselves clearly different from their appetites. It was impossible to side with them like that.

Besides, monsters outside Nargor would not betray Modes because they were not under Modes' command.

Shadows approach at very slow speeds. Zombies are a huge obstacle to them, even in the woods, which are nothing if they were alive, but they don't seem to be able to reach us.

One of the shadows was trying to reach us.

I cut one of the shadows that approached me with a short sword.

I used the Shortsword because I didn't want to show the Magic Sword to others.

The short sword came from Nargol. Unlike the Magic Sword, it is common in this world. It is difficult to use the Magic Sword for a little thing, so I brought another one.

The shadow falls back and moves with a slap.

Everyone gathers in a fallen shadow.

It is an oak with no neck and no legs. However, despite the fact that my neck was dropped, my hands and feet are still moving.

"I'm sure it's a zombie...."

Gallios checks his surroundings vigilantly.

"Oh no... why are the zombies again... I can't believe it's Strigues again..."

Lember murmured indifferently.

"If there's a zombie, there must be someone who made it."

Some people nod at Nimri's words.

I learned from Lugas that zombies and other undead basically do not occur naturally. It is common to be born of Necromancy. In other words, it is highly likely that someone created a zombie.

"What do you want to do? There's more coming.

Everyone makes noise when they say so.

Zombies move slowly. But it would be dangerous to be surrounded. Now we can escape.

"What do we do, Lember?

Gallios asks Lember.

Lember is the commander of this group. Waiting for his judgement.

"Of course I'll retreat. It's easier to wait in the walls in the morning than to fight properly with undead."

Everyone nods at Lember's judgment.

Zombies are slow and weak.

But because he's already dead, attacks like swords and spears don't work very well.

The equipment of the members here will only rob them of their health in battle.

Of course, I can destroy myself, but I am hiding who I am, and it would be better not to show too much power.

And all undead are vulnerable to the light of the sun, which should dissolve and disappear. Therefore, it is faster to wait for the morning than to defeat either one.

Some of the highest-ranking priests seem to be able to use magic to create sunlight, but no one here seems to be able to use that magic.

Therefore, it is better to return to the walls and protect them without forcing them to fight. Everyone hurries to make a decision on Lember and begins the retreat.

"It's like a month ago, when the braves came!!

Garios shouted, and Renbur, Nimri, and Stole nodded in the words. They're all from the Rocks kingdom.

Has something happened in the past?

"Yes, maybe it has something to do with the braves."

Nimri's reply.

So Striguez survived.

"I don't know if it's Strigues... But it's true that someone created the undead. You should be vigilant."

They go home talking. I just came to Rox Kingdom yesterday and I don't know what I'm talking about. It is completely outside the mosquito net.

It just seems like the story has something to do with the braves.

I wonder if Shirone has anything to do with it. I think about such a thing.

But why are the brave men here at this time?

I had a feeling something was going to happen.
