Chapter 5: 5 First of all, it's cold.

The speed of human walking is 4 kilometers per hour. The speed of running is said to be about 12 kilometers per hour.

I remember walking down the mountain, through the forest, finding a path, and then walking to Iliad's place, which took about four to five hours.

In other words, we traveled 16 to 20 kilometers from the place we had mischievously marked.

I left the castle at dusk and arrived at the spot in one hour.

Hmm, humans can run at 20 kilometers per hour.

The knights were clad in full body armor, each carrying a weapon.

Swords, battle axes, hammers, spears, all of them heavy. What's with these guys?

I'm very curious about the average specs of the inhabitants of this world.

And Mr. Iliad is carrying a grown man on his shoulder.

Oh, he let me out of the bag.

I'm glad I got here before the sun went down. I believe there's ...... around here.

At night, visibility changes. I was a little nervous about finding it, but it was a rather distinctive tree, so I was able to find it without getting lost.

It was in this direction, but I wondered if we'd run into bandits if we went straight up.　It seemed like they were passing by frequently.

"That's true, it would be tricky if they escaped.

Ilias, with a thoughtful look on his face. He looks like a dignified knight at times like this.

What should I do?

What should I do?" He asks with a serious face, sweat pouring down his forehead. He looks like a brainiac.

"What should we do?

The grandfather knights look thoughtful. I'll have to give them a helping hand.

"First, let's go up from a distance and aim for the river. It's a little further to the side than our destination. I found a path to a cave there, so let's go that way.

I remember some of the shape of the river. The river seemed to have been used by bandits from time to time, and there were clear signs of human passage.

By the way, I thought the river would lead us to a place where people lived, but the river eventually veered off to the side or ended up in a lake, so we never met up.

"I see. It's hard to detect magic then.

I've never heard of this word before. What, bandits can use that kind of magic?　Are you a magic bandit or a magic knight?

And then I understood what they were all wondering.

We thought it would be difficult to go unnoticed by the bandits while hiding, but they were thinking about how to avoid the eyes of those who could detect their surroundings.

It was not a matter of making noise or hiding. If you are curious, you can use detection magic to check your surroundings.

In a game of infiltration, the enemy has a ninety-degree field of vision, but the bandit you're trying to deal with has antennas in all directions, and can see through obstacles.

Isn't that pretty difficult?

If there's such a thing as detection magic, how can they not notice you around the cave?

If you use it regularly, you will definitely be noticed. But if they use it, we'll notice. If it's on the road, we can split it up and escape, but if it's in a nest, we'll have to take out the treasure and there's no way out. We can just kill them all at once.

That's a lot of confidence. They seem to be brainy, but I guess that's often enough to begin with.

In fact, they were marching at twenty kilometers per hour, but I bet they would be faster if they were running a short distance.

It is true that if you are unlucky enough to encounter someone on the road, and the information is transmitted by some means, there is a possibility that the person on the spot will be captured, but his friends in the distance will be able to escape.

But if they are cornered, they have the ability to annihilate them all at once.

All right, let's go.

Ilias and the others proceeded into the uninhabited forest. They proceeded through the forest and into the mountains.

I was amazed at their speed.

When they were descending the mountain, they were struggling to brush away cobwebs and avoid getting caught in the surrounding vegetation, but they were moving forward as if there was a path.

I looked at this woman with an indescribable expression on her face, who was carrying a person up the mountain without losing her breath.

There's the river.

The sun had already set. The moonlight shining through the trees was the only light they had.

But they are going on without using the torches.

If they dropped me now and I walked, I'm sure I'd fall over even if I followed behind them.

They are going so smoothly that I wonder if they have night vision magic or something.

He said, "Could you go up a little further? It seems wider than the place I saw before.

As we started to walk up the river for a while, the river started to resemble the thinness of the one I had seen in my memory.

All I had to do was to look at the river side and find the place I had found before, but it was hard to find in the dark.

I think it's around here. ...... Hmm?

Finally, I was let down and was walking along, watching my feet carefully, when I kicked something.

I reacted to the unpleasant feeling and looked at the thing I kicked.

"What?

I thought I was going to stop breathing. There was what looked like a human arm lying on the ground.

The memory of seeing the bandits flashed through my mind.

Yes, one of the bandits in the cave had a human arm.

The arm I saw then had a gleaming ornament on it, but the arm lying there now has no ornament.

It is likely that the arm was removed at the river and the unwanted arm was discarded.

This is ...... probably the arm of the merchant who was attacked.

It's awful. I'll take it home with me. It's too pathetic to feed to animals.

A knight prayed lightly, then picked up the arm, rinsed the mud off it in the river, and carefully placed it in a bag he was carrying.

The expressions of the knights around him turned grim.

There was a path around where the arm had been.

There's a cave ahead.

The knights took up their weapons and began to walk in silence, pointing the way.

There is a cave in the mountains.　

There was a cave in the mountains where a bandit group had set up their base.

At the entrance of the cave, a guard stood bored.

The only reason to stand guard in the depths of the mountains is if wild beasts come to sniff out this place.

But to them, the beasts that live in these mountains are all insignificant.

They can deal with a bear over four meters long as long as it doesn't attack them by surprise.

As you can see, there are no daredevils who want to go to the mountain of the Kuro Demon Slayer, which is located deep in the mountains.

"Ohhhh ......?　A shift?

As I sigh, another bandit comes out from inside.

"No, I'm pissing. I'm not ready for a shift.

Do me a favor, don't do it in my line of sight.

Hey, hey.

With that, one of his companions walks into the shade of a nearby tree.

The guard sighs and takes out a cigar from his pocket.

He takes it from the merchant's hand.

He snaps his fingers and ignites the flame at his fingertips.

He snaps his fingers and ignites the flame at his fingertips. "Sometimes I wish I could devour a glamorous woman.

He exhales the smoke while looking at the moon. Then, halfway through the smoke, he drops it on the floor and stomps on it.

"Hey, are you taking a shit?

You look in the direction where your friends disappeared and mutter a complaint.

But then the sentry felt a strange sensation.

In the darkness, behind the trees.

Something was looking at him.

"......

The sentry uses detection magic.

If in doubt, search thoroughly, that's the rule.

When you use detection magic, you can perceive magic within a 50 meter radius.

If it's a person, it will take the shape of a person and you can locate them.

You can also measure the approximate power of the person by the amount of magical power they possess.

However, if it is a beast that does not have much magic power, you can only see a slight haze in the air.

The guards think that all they can see is the silhouette of the fellow in the back pulling down his pants to get something out.

"Go to ......?

By the time he realized that a number of humanoid figures representing dark magic were surrounding the entrance, his head had been blown off by a thrown spear. 　

The bandits in the cave became tense.

The guards used their detection magic.

This was enough. It was a theory among the bandits that if they sensed something, they should immediately use their detection spells to look around.

But that detection spell suddenly disappeared. What would have naturally disappeared within ten seconds of its use was forcibly canceled within a few seconds of its use.

There were two possible explanations.

The other is the death of the magician.

There is no way to interfere with a detection spell that is being used by a group of people.

So whichever the reason.

"Enemy attack!

The sleeping bandits jumped up and each picked up a weapon.

.

The curtain rose on the battle. One of the knights choked one of the bandits from behind as he went into the bushes to do his business.

As each of the knights set up a perimeter around the entrance, one of them suddenly threw a spear and killed the guard.

He used a detection spell. I've taken care of the screaming sorcerer, but he'll find out soon enough!

The knight who threw the spear shouted.

At the same time, other knights jumped out and rushed into the cave.

Their speed was like that of a panther running through.

Soon, shouts began to rise in the cave.

No matter how you hear it, it's not the voices of knights.

"We're coming with you. Stay close.

"Oh, yeah.

You and Ilias enter the cave as sir.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry, even though his comrades had already entered and were engaged in a fierce battle.

At first the cave was only passable by a few people side by side, but soon we reached a large hollow.

Torches were set up all around the cave, and the interior was relatively bright.

Therefore, we could clearly see the scene inside.

"Uo......

Knights and bandits were fighting there.

No, it was too one-sided to be a battle.

The bandits were moving faster than wild animals. And there were three times as many of them as us. They seemed to be working in tandem, not fighting one knight at a time, but timing their attacks.

And yet, the knights were too strong.

With a single swing of his spear, he blasted the bandit's arm off with his axe.

They raised their shields and smashed the bandits who were about to be attacked with their hammers.

The battle-axe was swung so majestically that it knocked the bandit, who was out of reach, against the wall by wind pressure.

If you're a knight, you're not going to want to challenge him. ......

It's a splattering scene of slaughter, and it makes me want to vomit.

But I was able to endure.

The way the knights fought was so impressive that it struck a chord with me.

My admiration was stronger than my fear.

"Don't stab the living when they're incapacitated. But don't show mercy to those who have the strength to escape!

"Yes!

The knights shouted in response to Iliad's command.

The bandits fought back desperately at first, but the battle was already won.

Some cowered with deep wounds that would never heal, others were already reduced to mere pieces of flesh.

The bandits who still had the will to fight were already--

"What's all the noise?

The cave shakes, and the knights stop moving.

At the end of the cave, there were several more hollows, and from one of them a muscular man appeared.

He was big, no, too big.

The man was so huge that for a moment I thought I had lost my sense of distance.

At any rate, he was bigger than the giant bear I had encountered before. I'd say he was five meters tall.

In one arm, he held a mallet made of a rock larger than an adult man, bound together with multiple chains.

I wonder if it's ...... ......

What's with all the knights raiding my bunk? ......

That's the leader of the bandits. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it.　I'm not sure.

The knights fall back. I'm not sure what to make of that.

Ilias is moving towards the bandit's head at a brisk pace.

You're the bandit's head? You're the head of the bandits. I didn't see it in the report, but with your wooden figure, you certainly won't be able to make it down the mountain in peace.

"What?

The man swung his hammer down with great strength.

All is not well. No, Ilias-san is a knight too!　He dodges.

There's a tremor in the cave.

And stunned at the same time.

Mr. Ilias, of all people, is grasping a stone hammer with one hand.

What's with the big body? Is it a decoration?

"This--

There's a crack, and then an explosion, and the mallet shatters.

I broke his grip, that gorilla.

Even the bandit's head was surprised by his strength.

It'll be a hassle to bring him in with his size. You'll have to pay for your sins here and now.

Mr. Ilias takes the sword.

Isn't the scabbard still attached?

I wondered if the scabbard had been left on, but the next moment, his huge body popped.

"Oh ...... is .......

The bandit's head fell to the ground following gravity, leaving his upper chest, lower back, and, in essence, his abdomen blown off.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

The bandit's head fell to the ground following gravity. Seize any survivors.

Mr. Ilias returned to us as if nothing had happened.

It looks like we're going to be okay.

This one's going to be traumatized.

I'm sure you'll be impressed.　I'd like you to be impressed by that.

Ilias protests with a slightly dissatisfied look.

I'm sure you're not the only one.

...... I didn't want to stain this blade with the blood of someone like that.

"I see. I was going to pull it out, but the sheath got caught and I couldn't pull it out, so I thought I just hit him.

......

"......　

"......" "......" "......

All right, all right, don't lift your sword.

There were no bandits on the loose.

Of the thirty-four bandits, including the head, only seven were captured, and all the others died.

All the other bandits were killed.

Thus, the bandit extermination was successfully completed and they descended the mountain.

Of course, ordinary people were still being carried. Needless to say, they were more afraid of his mighty power than of going.

◇.　

In the depths of the forest in the Tarz territory, there was a stronghold of the bandits.

There were many simple tents lined up in the clearing, but the largest tent in the center stood out.

In that tent, a man with a ship's arm sitting in the most luxurious chair was listening to his men.

"Gidou's crew is dead?

Yeah, when the scouts went to check it out, they found nothing but bodies inside, including Gidou's.

What about the treasure?

"Unfortunately, it seems that the Tarzan knights had retrieved it after their raid.

That place is pretty deep in the mountains. If we don't know where it is, it'll take months to find. It's unlikely the knights were searching for it until then to avoid detection.

Were they following you?

No, Gido's an idiot, but he made sure his men followed the methods I taught them. I'm sure they're well prepared.

This one-armed man, his name is Docora.

He used to be a famous bandit in the neighboring country of Garnay, but since the new king took over, Garnay has grown unusually powerful and he felt threatened, so he moved his business to Tarz.

He is the one who united a group of bandits who fled from Garnets territory and formed the "Bandit League".

Unlike Garnets, where there were many plains and it was difficult to escape and hide, Taize, where there were many untouched mountains and forests, was a good feeding ground for them. 　

Dokora was living in the dark side of a country when he learned something that he should not have known and his life was threatened.

He lost one of his arms in the attempt and changed his life to that of a bandit when he realized the limits of his assassination work.

As a result of these experiences, Dokora has know-how in various covert skills, including tracking. 　

By sharing some of this knowledge with the bandits, he was able to reduce the probability of capture by the allied forces and increase the effectiveness of looting by exchanging information.

I'm not sure how they did it, though.

What are the odds of a child without magic wandering into the mountains and finding a cave by accident?　What are the odds?

"Tell the rest of the gang to refrain from any flashy moves for a while. We'll keep an eye on them and see what they do.

"Hey, and I'm curious, because I counted the bodies at Gidou's place and it looks like some of them were captured, including the ...... messenger.

You're worried about being tortured and giving up our information?　It's okay. They're not stupid. They know our retaliation is many times scarier than the knights' torture. They'd rather be tortured to death than give up information and spend the rest of their lives running from our fear.

Docola is demonstrating to each and every member of his gang what happens to traitors.

It was a demonstration of the torture techniques that Docora had used in his dark days.

He makes them understand that the torture of a beautiful and upright knight is just a service to kill them quickly.

"Increase the stock of magic seal stones. More traps.

Hey.

Now, let's see what Taze can do.
