Side: Yuki
I returned to the ruins after scouting.
After that, I spent three days gathering information from many sides while keepingpany to the princess.
The result is that I got to know something about demi-humans It seems that people call demi-human other races that are no human. As such, there is a strong sense of despise. Well, leaving that aside, we told the information we gathered to the elders.
Its a matter of time. I dont know the exact numbers, but the final figure is around 2500
2500, you said?
Only the elders opened their mouths.
Other members participating on the meeting are silent, even Zett.
The number of people who can fight in this vige is at most 70, and counting you people, roughly 100
Goblin troops have increased since then.
Its convenient!! In many ways!!
Even if we count women and children, at most 200 people-ja
As expected, even if we add 100 mercenaries and our number reaches 300, we are at lost, arent we?
Eventually, the elders admit the difference in strength, and such words escape their mouths.
Wait a moment, where did your courage go, demi-humans!?
That reminds me, didnt you say that you would cooperate with other demi-humans? Its been two weeks since the soldiers were captured, whats their reaction?
About that-nou. They may not want your help, maybe they disagree, or they may think they wont be able to win, either way, the answer was not good. They are looking at the situation first-nou
H~m. Thats bad for us, but that reaction was a expected
After all, no one would put their lives on the line not knowing if they can win.
In addition, the ones who would takemand would be us, a mercenary group from the unreliable human race.
Still, some people are gathering, isnt that right?
Yes, though the reply is scarce, there are some who areing
Then, we have no choice but to ovee this hurdle. If we manage to defeat the enemy while outnumbered, Im sure those who are watching will change their stance
Certainly-nou
Its not like the enemy wille soon. They need time to prepare theirrge number for marching. Its different from walking normally. Well have at least one more month
The important thing here is their method of transportation, the horse.
However, since this new continent is in war, horses are very valuable since they are used in war.
By the way, what I didnt tell the elders, is that this subjugation was unexpected even for the Zilba Empire.
In fact, the raid on this vige of demi-humans seems to have been nned by a military officer of the Zilba Empire to clean up a mess made in a war with another country and as such, they would either caught or wipe the demi-humans.
In this new continent, demi-humans are subject to discrimination, and of course there is a reason for this.
The cause has not been investigated, but as Luna says, the depletion of magic power has reduced the birth rate of the demi-humans and so their numbers.
So, the demi-humans became more skilled than human race in controlling magic power all in order to survive. And so Luna said.
In short, the beast folks have physical ability and elves excel in magic power.
Well, its not like each of them is powerful, but overall, they are.
So, before the depletion of magic power, it seems that they have coexisted with the human race, just like Weed, but when it began to decline power, the beast folk race and the elven race could not maintain their countries.
No, should I say that because their numbers decreased, they have been attacked by the country which have human race supremacy?
Since monsters who were the immediate andmon threat disappeared, the next threat happened to be them, the demi-humans who possessed superior skillpared to them. Thats when the discrimination started.
That is the result I got after hearing the story from both side, Jessica from the human race, and from the elders from the demi-humans race.
In short, subduing the demi-humans is not so different from exterminating the monsters to them.
However, like them, they also use strategies and weapons. Moreover, their individual performance is higher.
If you can subdue them, you can get a reputation of it, and such was the aim of the military officer who attacked them, aiming only at the women.
If we had not appeared, everything would have gone smoothly for them.
Ah, why did we appear at such timing you ask?
Well, thanks to that they failed to subdue the demi-humans.
And about 300 soldiers who came with the nobleman were captured.
Thats when a problem came up. When humans were busy fighting among their same race, I stimted the demi-humans in their area.
Its said that 300 people were annihted by a small number, so they forgave the one who caused internal trouble in country all in order to not slow down Zilba Empires invasion of other countries.
Thats why they sent one of the best knights of the Zilba Empire, the wind princess knight, hoping for an immediate solution.
The person in question was the leading general who was invading the niehgborin Enalia Holy Land, but feeling threatened from behind, he came back.
Its really a cleaning after somebody mess.
Thats what happened so far.
As for detailed information, 2500 soldiers are under directmand of that wind princess knight.
Rumor has it that the quality of her soldiers is one of the best in the Zilba Empire.
Normally they would not have a chance to win. Of course, it it were a normal situation.
One month eh?
Atst the elders digested the words I told them.
Thats right, one month. If you wish to escape you will be caught if you dont start with at least a half month of time, so if you keep thinking for a long time, you wont even be able to take anything with you
If we told that well escape, what would you all do-ja?
Ive said from the beginning, didnt I? We came from the ruins, so we dont have choice but to protect it. We dont have ns to move from here
Come on, run away quickly.
That way I wont have to worry about being dragged on.
Reinforcements areing from elsewhere, and Im worried if they will obey our orders or not.
Really, are you all still saying that you all havee from those ruins?
Not from those ruins but from anothernd. The world is wide. There are many things about the world that you dont know
You all will confront those 2500 soldiers without retreating?
Yes
Not quite true, Ive already contacted my friends, and have asked Steve to rebuild the defenses.
It will bepleted in about another week, I suppose?
Rather than 2500, Im building a ce that can stop ten times those numbers.
What I asked Steve is to build a defense capable of stopping 2,500 enemies and not defenses in the ruins.
As for the ruin the defensive construction of the dungeon has already beenpleted. The chances of this ce falling against the tactics of this new continent are almost zero, it would be fair to call this ce against the rules.
My strong point is inside of the dungeon, and until they get closer to the dungeon, theyll be exposed to the fire of modern weapons, rather than losing, theyll run away.
I now understand your intentions well. Do you want to have a meeting for the time being?
I dont mind. Rather, you dont even have to report anything even the results as long you dont disturbs us
What do you mean by disturbing?
There will not be a particr change in daily life as until now, but I dont n to takemand from the start from the battles that will ur from now on with the enemy forces. I dont want to leave my back to those people who are suspicious of me, and I dont want to be dragged down by them. We can both sides move separately from the beginning
Fumu, certainly I cant keep up with your movements. If we were to work poorly, we could be a hindrance to each other
Besides training during the whole month, Im sure youd have a bunch of hot-blooded peopleing from different viges. Youll be busy dealing with them
I understand your point In that case, well leaving the front line to you all and we will take care of the defense of the vige. Ill be observing the situation then. If we see that you are winning, we will join on our own. Of course if we see that you are losing, we may escape, you know?
Alright, all ording to my n.
Thats why I told you, you do what you want. Just dont get in my way. The time to escape is now. Im telling you despite you let the prisoners escape and blocking our way out
Leaving the silent elders, me and Ria left the meeting ce.
Was that okay?
Ria seems concerned about the conversation.
Does Ria think we will lose?
No, its not that, its about the cooperative system, wouldnt it have been better to have let them save their face? It doesnt matter the result Once we get involved, it wont be victory for those people, right?
Thats why I said that. If they run away, we can capture soldiers and negotiate freely with the Zilba Empire. Conversely, if they were to leave the defense of the vige to us, on the contrary, we wouldnt be able to lift even our heads. Including all the disrespect so far. This way, they wille to us if they have a proper reason to disturb us and we will be the ones dealing with it
Aah, thats what you mean by telling them to stay behind to defend
Whats important is that they are freely to stay behind. That side, like the men of vige, even the outsiders havent seen our work. Thats why, its important that us, the mercenaries, to show off to the army of vigers, in the front
Yes, the purpose of this is not only to make our strength known to the enemy, but also to show our ability to vigers and strangers who are still distrustful.
Now, if they were to run away, the reputation for having abandoned us will expand, and all the area around the dungeon will fall unto our hands.
On the other hand, if they kept watching from behind, it wont be as far as changing their minds, but they wont be able face us when they see our abilities. Because we know the vital point in a fight.
What worries me is that when we see us fight, they would leave aside the defense of the vige toe out and try to steal the fruits of the war.
But I have already predicted such a thing and made the battlefield for it. Besides, If the vigers had been able to ovee from the beginning, demi-humans wouldnt suffering from such treatment.
But its a month until they arrive What should we in the meantime?
Dont worry, Ria and the others will be also busy. After all I have to experiment with the magic power
Just because no enemy ising doesnt mean that Im free.
Of course, research of magic power.
I need to go to the Fail town to keep collecting information. I have a car, so it only takes about a day to get around.
For the time being, time is finite. Lets do what we can. There is also Weed, so Im grateful that we have a month
Now that you said it, yes. There is also Rust country, the former Demon castle city, so Im grateful that I have the time to pay attention to the Rumel invasion forces
Well, I wonder how far you can go princess of the wind?
Well, Steve and the others have been fighting battles on arge scale for a long time, so do your best.

Thanks for the chapter desu~
I dont believe that princess will be killed. Most likely shell be a harem member candidate for her looks after she is captured alive, or something.
