1567 Episode 1567



The ground was rather quiet, unlike before, as the lays drove down the hidden aisle.
 The reason for the silence may well be Jaya's who have fallen in front of a building that leads to an underground installation.
 Some are dead, others simply faint.
 Some are still alive, but most of them are injured in some way and not in a good condition to move.
 The moaning of such people's mouths echoes faintly around the quiet people.

"Grull".

 Seeing that no one was about to attack the underground installation, Seto, who landed on the ground, was chirping with satisfaction.
 Soon, however, Sett's gaze is directed a little further away.
 There, Jaya soldiers, who had gathered around this time, were watching Seto's way into the underground facilities.
 You might have known there was no use trying to force your way through, since the strongest soldiers were overwhelmed by Seto.

"Glu?"

 Meanwhile, Seto suddenly turns his head mysteriously.
 for besides the Jaya soldiers who were watching him, he found others of other forces.
 Being different as a group does not necessarily mean that they are different forces, but... yet, from the point of view of Seto, they understood that they were different from the Jayans who had been attacking here some time ago.
 It would also be a little too much to call a group, given that there are only three people in motion.
 For the time being, Seto was careful not to miss the three men's movements, as he didn't know how they would work.

"...well, I met that Gryphon for a moment." Is it just my imagination?"

 One of the three men dispatched from the Resistance muttered in a timid tone.
 But it would still be nice to be able to speak.
 The other two were completely frozen and unable to move the moment Sett and his eyes met.
 Normally, it would never have happened to Seto even if he met his eyes.
 But I could easily understand how powerful Seto was when I saw dozens of people lying around the building leading to the underground facilities.
 Above all, Seto's hair and wings are clean.
 That means he was not injured at all in the battle with Jaya's soldiers.
 If you're a high-ranked monster called Gryphon, it's no use doing so.
 A dozen seconds later, everyone but the only man who opened his mouth can still speak.

"What are you going to do? I know what's going on here. Are you going back now?"
"... I see. There's no doubt that there's a shortage of workers over there. If I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have had to come with the three of us."
"That's the result, isn't it?" I never thought the Gryphon would be so overwhelmed. But if you want to go back, let's get back early."

 The men were talking about it, but in the meantime things move.
 Jaya's soldiers, who had been watching for a chance to enter the underground facility, began to move together.
 We knew that those stronger than us were losing Seto and lying on the ground, but we knew that if we didn't move here, we would definitely be punished by the organization.
 It was only natural, then, to lay a ray of hope on options that might survive, rather than certain death.
 In fact, there are quite a few who are alive among those who have been overthrown by Seto.
 That is to say, they have decided that attacking Seto is more likely to survive.
 Also, if by any chance they succeeded in entering the underground facilities, the reward from the organization would have been enormous.

`Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!'
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

 Jayan soldiers scrambling to get into the underground installation, shouting like that.
 But of course Seto should not be able to overlook it in silence.
 ...however, it's already been a long time since the lays stormed in.
 Then it was too late to rush in... I didn't think so, but as long as it was Ray's job, I couldn't rush through Jaya's soldiers.

"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

 At the same time as screaming, fifteen wind arrows are produced around the set.
 Since the arrows of ice are also made of ice, it was difficult for the attacker to tell, but the arrows of the wind clearly outweigh the arrows of ice in terms of appearance.
 Since it is made of wind, it is difficult to avoid when it is released, even if it is still standing.
 At the very least, there was no way we could do something about the number of soldiers who could not be called elite, who had just gathered here.
 The least salvation was that it was Wind Arrow, not Ice Arrow.
 Ice arrows are easier to distinguish than wind arrows.
 But in mass it is clearly above the arrow of the wind.
 That being the case, Ice Arrow outweighs Wind Arrow in terms of damage when eaten.
 Wind Arrow is by no means less aggressive in terms of cutting and wounding his opponent.
 Anyway, the reason Sett did not use iced Arrows, let alone power crashes, venomous claws, which would clearly overkill people, was because he perceived the attacking soldiers to be poor, or was it just a whimsy thing?
 At any rate, it must have been a lucky choice for the men.
 As he hoped, few people could be fatally injured.
 ... yes. There were few.
 Some soldiers have their necks cut off by wind Arrows and fall to the ground with blood splashes.
 Expensive potions would have saved such people... unfortunately, none of the soldiers here now have such a pot.
 It would have been different if they were more powerful in the organization.
 At any rate, it was the Resistance who came to see what was going on here as a matter of course to be upset at the sudden occurrence of such a disturbance.

"Hey! All of a sudden, another battle has begun!? What are you going to do! If things go on like this, we'll get involved!"

 One of the three would play the dexterous trick of shouting, but the other two could not afford to praise it.
 All we can do now is hold our breath and watch the flow of the battle so that we don't miss what's going on.

"Shut up. Anyway, now we need to see how this fight goes. ... Abelero, you report this matter. There is no need for three of us to observe the battle here."
"That's... I see. But you know it's dangerous if things go on like this, right? Is it really okay?"
"I know it's dangerous. But that Gryphon is Ray's slave, isn't it? Then he probably won't touch us. . . . . . I suppose."

 I don't think the man is saying it because he's absolutely certain.
 That's why I've been using the word "plenty" over and over again.
 Realizing this, Abelero eventually leaves the scene without further comment.
 Anyway, to inform you that another battle has broken out in front of the underground facilities.
 When I was working as a resistance, I couldn't get anywhere like this in the first place... right up to the underground facilities.
 The information we get to this point alone is of great importance to the resistance.
 ...however, given that underground facilities have been raided on such a large scale, it is not clear how valuable the information is.
 Still, they think it might be useful information.
 After Aberrero leaves, the other two watch a battle worthy of being called a trampling, telling themselves to calm down.
 Fortunately, many of the soldiers have survived death, since it is not as fierce as the first battle.
 But at least one or two of the bones are broken, and it is difficult to escape on your own.
 Also, if they escape from the scene, they will undoubtedly be sent back to the battlefield.
 Knowing this, the wounded Jaya soldiers do not go back carelessly.
 Some even lie on the spot pretending to be injured, even though they are not.

"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"Seto doesn't want to kill his opponent pointlessly either.
 Regardless of the first to attack, the soldiers in front of them had some control, knowing that they would lose their fighting spirit if they were slightly injured.
 The use of window-arrows is probably one of them.
 The blow on the front foot was a very easy blow for Seto.

"d*mn it! Why is there such a monster here! Come and get more soldiers! Who can use it, not small fish!"

 The man at the helm screams so, but the man who receives the instructions spits it out in his heart.

(Don't you know that the most skilled guys are already out? The most skilled guys were protecting the underground facilities in the first place? Now that they've broken through, they're invaders... I don't know if they've been killed or stunned by the Lays, but I'm sure they've been rendered impotent.)

 No matter how many inferior people I brought in, I couldn't imagine I could manage the set in front of my eyes.
 We make it a priority not to let the jayas through the underground facilities, so we don't get too far away from the entrance that we're guarding.
 If so, some carried out long-range attacks with bows, but... attacks such as ice, wind, and water polo returned, and the bows were seriously wounded in amputating their arms.
 As a result, there is nothing Jaya soldiers can do now.
 If this had been an ordinary army, there would have been an option to quietly withdraw.
 Unfortunately, however, Jaya is a dark organization... a gathering of criminals.
 That being the case, face and power struggle are much stronger than the army. ...Of course, there are people in the army who would abandon their subordinates to succeed in life.
 Anyway, it must have been unfortunate for anyone here -- except Resistance and Sett -- that the most prominent person here now had that type of personality.
 The misfortunes were repeated, and the position of the man in charge was gained by flattering his boss.
 If things go on like this, I'll be used up.
 The man then sees that everyone around him is concentrating on Seto... and cuts his boss's throat with a dagger he takes out of his pocket.
 It wasn't so sharp as to be silent, but fortunately no one here looked at me or my boss, and no one noticed what was going on.
 The man who hid his boss' body in the rubble nearby screams.

"Mr. Rajada has been attacked and killed by the Gryphon, and I will take charge of him from now on!"

 The soldier's eyes are turned to the man's words.
 Naturally, it is unthinkable that Rajada, who had previously issued a series of reckless orders in Seto's attack, died.
 But it was the unanimous opinion of everyone here that this man should take the lead when asked how to survive.
 No one had anything particular to complain about.
 If Rajada had any popularity, the soldiers' attitudes would have been different, but Rajada is a man who flatters and flatters his superiors, so he cannot be popular.

"All withdraw! All withdraw! The Gryphon is only guarding the cellar! If we don't attack him, there's no problem!"

 At that remark, everyone begins to withdraw, as if they had been waiting.
 The two men in the Resistance, of course, watched it, but even those who had fallen to the ground until a few seconds ago, were dumbfounded to see them quickly rise and retreat.

"What's this feeling?"
"Well, Jaya has withdrawn, but what are we going to do? Or do we wait and see here a little more?"
"I'll leave it for the time being," for there may be something more to come."

 That was the end of the matter.
