Unsurprisingly, it was soon discovered that a large number of horse-drawn carts had been stolen at Rossi's palace.
　The fact that Ray was flying in the air in a set, not acting like an attack on the royal palace, was probably the reason why it was quickly discovered that the carriage had been robbed.
　Originally, it was an effective way to stop the enemy from chasing you.
　But what Ray didn't do was... he thought it would be a simple attack that involved unrelated people, and most importantly... he wanted to be chased.
　It was almost a gamble for Ray to believe in the information that he was flying on a set, but it was highly likely that the country's upper echelon would not be able to leave the Ray's impersonators alone after the royal castle was attacked and his reputation was destroyed.
　And Ray's prediction is that if they were to order chase, they would not be infantry, but rather highly mobile cavalry.
　Most importantly, Ray had no idea of this, but one of the horse-drawn carts he had stored... that he found a strangely luxurious one for the royal family in the kingdom of Lavrellina.
　The royal property had been stolen, so there was absolutely no option to leave it alone.

"That's why... I expected him to come, if possible, but he hit it right."
"Oh, you're a bad fellow,"

　When Ray mutters at the tail end of the resistance and ex-prostitute, Marina utters words that make a mockery of it.
　Marina's face, contrary to what she said, has a smile on it.

"Cavalry, you know... I don't think we can expect much from the cavalry of Lavrellina."

　Vihela mumbled regretfully, anticipating the weakness of the attacking enemy.
　Vichela had no experience fighting against the forces of Levulina, let alone the soldiers of Jaya, but she was honest that she still heard from Rey and was unlikely to be able to look forward to it...
　Ray also said that the soldiers who fought in the forest were sent out as abandoned pieces, and that they were not so weak in practice, but there was no reason to do so, and that Viehra was never motivated by Ray's words."

"Yes,"

　This was considered to be a sufficient force for a soldier from Levrellina, and Bune was sent to intercept.
　I'm rubbing my eyes a little sleepy, partly because it's getting late at night.

(Well, if there's a battle, I'll wake up even if I don't like it.)

　After all, Ray trusts Bune to do his job well... no, he trusts Bune.

"Well, it's not a horse that I'm aiming for, but a soldier on it... or a knight, but that's all right?"

　Next to Ray, Elena asks with a Mirage in her hand.
　As with others, there was no sign of nervousness about the upcoming battle.
　But it's only natural. The Rays, including Elena, have survived numerous battles.
　There couldn't have been any tension in this kind of battle.

"Do so," There are quite a few cabs, but the more horses that pull them, the better."

　With Seto, it would be possible to link the carriage that Ray had taken away.
　Maybe I can't pull everything, but it should have been possible with a few cars.
　But Ray can't be with this group to the end.
　Perhaps along the way, Dusker will be asked to return to Gillum by the Rays alone.
　In fact, the request was only natural given how late the Gillum extension was due to the absence of the Rays.
　And when Ray returns to Gilm, he will need to move in a casket with Set.
　It is necessary, then, to have a horse to pull a carriage.

"Who are you, my fellow?"

　The man at the head of the cavalry screams.
　To the cavalry it seemed very suspicious that they were moving in such a large group at night... that they didn't know how many people there were.
　Even if you're not looking for someone to enter the castle, you're sure to have asked the group.

"Why are you so far away from Rossi as to run away?" Let me hear the explanation. If there are circumstances which I can't tell anyone, I'll forgive you!"

　It was full of suspicion and irritation to see Ray point his spear.
　Of course, the night was coming... that was a sudden call, in the midst of many who were planning to go out to Mejogo, or, if they hadn't gone that far, to Rossi's bars or brothels.
　You can express your frustration at the thought that tonight's schedule has gone awry.
　It was the sort of man who was half-outraged, but...

"Well, if you tell me who I am, I'll answer like this. It's your enemy."

　As soon as Ray finished saying so, the Elenas began to move.
　The first to attack was Elena, who whipped Mirage.
　The blade, stretched beyond belief that he was holding a long sword, is struck against the body of the man he was talking to Ray.
　The reason why he did not die was not because he was highly skilled, but because he was equipped with high-quality armor...
　Simply because Elena's blow did not hit the blade.

(What I want is a horse, not their lives.)

　The whipped Mirage is very wide.
　That's the extent to which nearly half of the cavalry is in the range of Elena's attack.
　And Elena isn't the only one to attack.
　Viehera, who looks troublesome but continues to close the gap with the cavalry and wields her fist at the legs straddling the horse, and Beune, who inflicts wounds with white clouds.
　The ultimate blow would be Marina's use of spirit magic.
　The blade of the wind... but the impact of the wind will cause damage.
　The cavalry had no idea what had happened, but... they would still have judged it dangerous to be here.
　He makes his horse turn his heel and tries to return to the castle.
　Did they try to call for reinforcements because they couldn't help it, or did they simply try to escape because they were afraid to be here?
　For whatever reason, the fatal thing would have been that the horse didn't listen.

"Gurling!"

　a high‐pitched cet song in the summer night sky
　Only a few people here know that it is the skill of king's intimidation.
　Horsemen, who should have been in the majority, are surprised and confused when their partner suddenly stops working or never listens to instructions.
　It was already clogged up when the cavalry came here and Seth was behind it.
　It would have been decided that the cavalry would be wiped out here without realizing it.
　...though none, albeit annihilated, died.
　Of course, no one is injured just because no one is dead.
　In terms of injuries, it was not uncommon for people to be seriously injured.
　Unlike these soldiers, the inability of horses to move due to the pressure of the king of Seto worked better, and many horses were not injured.

"All right. ... I'll take the horses with me, so if you're used to handling them, please!"

　In Ray's words, the resistance that was watching from a distance...or the woman who was simply used to handling horses, approaches each horse's side.
　Near the horse, the still-conscious soldier realizes he is about to be robbed of his horse, and even if he tries to defy it, his body is too injured to move.
　Some managed to grab the horse by the leg, but he was soon kicked off.
　The number of horses I got was about thirty.
　It's a little too little to move all the cabs, but it's enough given that they're getting it in villages and towns along the way.

"Well, I'm in a hurry," If they don't come back, and they send reinforcements again, it'll be troublesome."
"How many horses can we have, Mr. Ray? If we call in the enemy at this rate and take them away..."

　One of the Resistance members asks Ray.
　The words even revered Ray's ability... and seeing up close the abilities of his companions.
　...but for Ray, neither the battle against Jaya in Majorugo nor against the cavalry now were he really fighting.

"That might be a good idea, too. But if you spend too much time here, there will be a lot of danger when I leave."

　In fact, the Resistance woman's suggestion is not so bad.
　A horse is... a horse trained to fight on the battlefield is a very expensive thing.
　A small country alone would make such a horse more valuable than the kingdom of Mileana.
　Also, horses that are overwhelmingly mobile compared to people running are very useful creatures, not just in war.
　Having one such horse after another in the sense that it will drain the country of Levreina is not so wrong in the sense that it will weaken its opponents.

"But if we only weaken the Levrellina here, we could lose the battle against Jaya. If that happens, there will be a lot of bad taste in the future.""Oh... did you?" I'm sorry."
"I don't care," That's what we need to do when we're not around. For that reason, it's better for you to think carefully about doing this at times like this."

　The Resistance woman looks respectfully at Ray's words.

"Yes!"

　Ray doesn't think he has a particularly respectful personality, nor does he.
　At the very least, I'm not as fair as Elena, or as Marina, saying something and helping others... it's true that there aren't many, if not none.
　That's why there's something awkward about being able to look at women in the Resistance this way.

"Here we go. I'll walk for a few more hours and stay as far away from the Rossi as I can."

　Eventually, he tells them only that, and Ray walks away from the scene to the front of the party.

"Huhhhuh.

　Marina smiles amusedly next to Ray.

"What?"
"Nothing? I just thought it was unusual for Ray."

　Ray thought of telling Marina something back, but under the current circumstances, he didn't think he could beat Marina with his mouth, so he shut up.
　The choice was right.
　Marina thought she'd make a little fun of Ray if he'd said something back here.
　If the atmosphere isn't interesting now, Ray decides to change the subject first.
　...however, I should have been talking about it first.

"And when do you think the chase will come? No, do you think so?
"I don't know," This chase was largely carried out because we didn't know who broke into the castle, right? Then we learned that we were involved in this incident. Then, as a country that wants to gain the favor of the Kingdom of Mileana..."

　There is a high possibility that they won't chase you?
　Yes, Ray muttered in his mouth,
　In fact, what Marina is saying is never a kind of fantasy or delusion, but a real possibility.
　If so, it would be impossible for the country of Rebrelina to strike Jaya with the kingdom of Mileana.
　Also, the more you waste your energy here, the more you will struggle against Jaya.
　With the military power of the kingdom of Milliana, the sovereign state, there is no way that Levrellina will lose.
　Still, in order to save face at least a little, it was necessary to prepare a suitable military force and at the same time to achieve war results.
　In order to do this, it would be normal for us to exhaust our military strength here... let alone avoid being hostile to the Ray's, the masters of the Milliana Kingdom.

"Well, if you don't think about the circumstances and act on your feelings, you may be pursued."

　When Marina said so, Ray nodded in agreement.
