Chapter 240: The Battle on the Ground

When I went up to the ground, I found four companions of the previous magician waiting there to avoid the collateral damage of the range instant death spell.

“What!? Did he fail!?”

Ankh, seizing the opportunity of his enemies who could not hide their agitation, killed two of them with a throwing knife while running up the stairs, and when he had closed the distance, he cut down the other two with a swing of his great magic sword.

“Once again, the sharpness of this great magic sword is quite impressive.”

As Ankh admired the sword in his hand, the sound of explosions, things breaking, shouts, and angry voices, could be heard and it seemed that there was a great commotion outside.

Tauro and his group are on the first floor of the building in the center of the base.

When we were brought in, we were covered with sacks, so I don’t know their exact location, but I have a vague idea of it.

“It seems that the subjugation force is taking the lead outside, with the adventurers at the center, but what are we going to do?”

Ragune confirms to Tauro what to do next.

“…The contents of the treasury have been subdued, so all we need to do now is to defeat the leader of this stronghold and the enemy will stop moving… Is that okay with you guys?”

“Of course!”

Aeris answered strongly.

“Ah, aiming for the general is a common tactic in warfare.”

Ankh, who is accustomed to fighting, grins fearlessly.

“That’s right. We’re aiming for the boss here!”

Ragune seems to be in a good mood.

“Then let’s go to the floor above here.”

Tauro nodded to everyone and ran up the stairs leading the way, aiming for the place where the group reflected in the “Presence Detection” was.

As Tauro and the others went upstairs, they heard the angry voice of a man who appeared to be the leader of this base.

“Let the sorcerers use their spells to break through the siege from the west! North is no good. Over there is the A-rank band adventurer team “Golden Mane”. They may look the least populated, but they are the hardest to break through among the siege. We’ll break through the siege on the west side and get the classified documents out. Burn the rest!”

The man, who seems to be the leader, ran down the stairs on the opposite side of the ones which Tauro and the others were coming up to take command of the spearhead, taking his men with him.

“There’s a stairway over there too! It can’t be helped… We’ll take hold of them before they burn the documents.”

Tauro decided to change from his original plan to take down the leader.

It seems that the documents are very important to the enemy, so it is more important to seize them.

“We have no choice. Let’s seize these documents before they are burned.”

Ankh also decided that it would be better to change the order of priority based on the boss’s comment.

‘’…I guess we’ll just have to give up on the boss!’’

Ragune seemed a little disappointed, but convinced herself that it couldn’t be helped.

“Well then, let’s get going!”

Aeris pointed to the room where the boss had come out of.

Everyone nodded and headed for the Boss’s room.

Behind the ajar door there were people trying to take the documents out onto the terrace to burn them.

“I won’t let that happen!”

Tauro shot an arrow through the chest the man who was about to set fire to the pile of documents with fire magic.

All four of the others turned around to see that their member had been shot.

“The enemies are here! Burn the papers quickly, I’ll take them with me!”

One of them said and pulled a dagger from his waist.

Tauro reacted to the word “take them with you” and made Aeris and the others back away. A man near the documents seeing this, took a piece of the document and jumped over the terrace railing to escape.

It must be a confidential document.

Tauro had been fooled by the bluff.

“Damn. Sorry guys. I was fooled…”

After Tauro apologized, he quickly drew his bow and pierced the enemy as he tried to set fire to other documents.

“Damn! Then!”

The man holding the dagger turned his back on Tauro and plunged into the stack of documents.

No way! Tauro shot an arrow at the man’s back.

At the same moment that the man was covered by the pile of papers and the arrow pierced his back, the man’s whole body erupted in fire.

Fire erupted from the man’s entire body, and in the blink of an eye, the flames engulfed the documents.

“Aeris, water magic!”

As soon as Tauro said this, Aeris immediately cast a spell and tried to extinguish the fire with water magic.

However, the last man stood in front of the documents, and when he, too, burst into flames, blocking Aeris’s water magic, and he collapsed on top of the pile of burning papers.

Aeris quickly extinguished the fire with water magic, but most of the documents had already been burned away.

“…What the hell are these guys. To risk their lives for a piece of paper…”

Ankh shook his head, as if not understanding the enemy’s act of suicide without hesitation.

“…it can’t be helped. I want to chase the leader now, but let’s head to the western front immediately and prevent the enemy from breaking through.”

Tauro thought that the reason he was on the back foot might be the difference in preparedness between him and the enemy.
