We gathered at the elder's house and sat in the hall where the party was held yesterday.

There were four of us, LeFania, her mother Finola, and about ten other representatives of the elves of the village, including the elder.

All of us were having a meeting about the story Finola had brought about the attack by the Orc Legion.

Incidentally, the settlement where Finola, the mother of LeFania, was staying was one of the largest Elven settlements in the vicinity, with a population four times the size of the Elven settlement we were currently in - in other words, over three hundred people.

Finola is one of the best Elven warriors in the village, and her skill with the sword and magic far surpasses that of Lefania.

In addition, we are not in a position to be a party to this matter, but rather a step back.

The reason we are mixed up in the conversation is that we are willing to join the battle as mercenaries if the other side requests it and offers sufficient compensation.

But whether he knew it or not, Satsuki was actively participating in the discussion with the elves.

'But, don't you think Will can handle a hundred orcs? I'm not sure if it's a fireball or a lightning bolt? I'm sure you'll be able to do it.

Satsuki's comment drew the attention of the elves to me.

What should I say?

In order to sell ourselves as mercenaries at a high price, we should not be more humble than necessary, but we should also not give them too much hope.

...... Well, I guess it's best to be honest about my own views.

So I decided to explain my own perspective on the matter to the elves.

'As for whether or not my magic can wipe out more than a hundred Orcs, that depends on how my opponent reacts, but considering that my opponent is a well-organized army led by an Orc Emperor, I think it's safe to say that it won't be that easy. I think we should assume that the enemy is not stupid and act accordingly.

I replied, and the place erupted.

LeFania asks me a question with a look of surprise.

'...... So, in other words, depending on how the other party reacts, you could take them all out by yourself, right?

'That's right. It may not be impossible if the opponent does not try to counter your tactics of dividing and destroying them individually over a period of several days. But it's not very realistic, and in that case, the quality of the enemy is likely to be more of a problem than the number.

I replied to LeFania and took out a piece of paper, a pen, and some ink from my luggage.

I placed the paper on the wooden floor and drew a large equilateral triangle in the shape of a pyramid on it, presenting it so that everyone in the carriage could see it.

'First, let me explain the general composition of the army led by the Oak Emperor. It is said that an army of demihuman monsters led by an emperor class usually consists of a pyramidal army, as described in a reliable monster research paper. In the case of the Orc army this time, the Orc Emperor is at the top. This is one.

I said that and made a small space at the top of the equilateral triangle and wrote "Orc Emperor, one".

Then, in the space below that, I add the words 'three Orc Lords'.

'Under the Emperor class, there are usually about three Lord classes following. It is said that the general composition of the army is that there are about nine general class below them, about twenty-seven leader class and mage class below them, and about eighty orcs of the general species at the bottom. In short, as you go down the pyramid, the number of orcs triples, and triples, and triples.

I fill in the rest of the pyramid structure, separating it with horizontal lines.

Then, at the bottom, next to the general orcs, I fill in the rank of 'F'.

In terms of monster ranks, the orcs of the general species are ranked 'F'. You can think of it as the monster rank goes up one level for each level up from here. In other words, Orc Mages and Orc Leaders are E rank, Orc Generals are D rank, Orc Lords are C rank, and Orc Emperors are B rank.

I wrote down the monster ranks in order, and finally the Orc Emperor's rank as 'B'.

Then I moved my pen down one level, circled 'C' next to the Orc Lord, and turned my attention to Satsuki and LeFania.

'I'm sure LeFania has had a chance to see Satsuki's strength, but Satsuki's current strength is probably about even with this Oaklord. In other words, there are about three Satsuki-class enemies...''

I then moved my pen up one level and pointed at the Oak Emperor again.

And then I'll describe the strength of the Oak Emperor in a way that only Satsuki, Mee, and Cyril can understand.

'This Oak Emperor will probably be as strong as Irene. And of course, it has a high resistance to magic and high life force, so it's impossible for my magic to kill it in one blow.''

'Jeez, ......, right ......? Orcs are really that strong? ....... So, then, what about Will's Lightning Bolt? Which one did he defeat with that spell? I'm sure you've heard that it was a higher species.

Satsuki asked me that, and I pointed with my pen to the second level from the bottom of the pyramid.

'I think those are Orc Mages and Orc Leaders. Incidentally, I should say that I was lucky to have defeated both of them with a single strike of Lightning Bolt. With my current magic power, I will probably miss at least one in three times. And if you miss at a distance where an attack spell like that can reach you, there's a good chance I'll be turned into a lump of flesh before the next spell arrives.

'Seriously? ......'

Satsuki let out a pained sigh.

However, I can't be optimistic about that either, since I know that even Satsuki is an equal or greater opponent than me.

The air was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

The silence was broken by Cyril's comment.
