"Hey, what's that ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh no, Lyushka. They've broken through the gate! They're going to ruin the labyrinth town!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't think straight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can hear Jane talking loudly to me next door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But still, my attention was not on Jane next to me, but on the white devils that had entered the labyrinthine city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What in the world are they?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Those who dive into the labyrinth and undergo [ability release] can improve their abilities and use magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my case, my eyesight especially improved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can see very far, as in the case of [Far-Sightedness], but I also have other unusual powers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can see the strength of an opponent by looking at him, but only approximately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't believe my pride in my eyes now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because it is, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All those guys over there on those beast messengers are unbelievably strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've seen many knights in my life, even though I often go into the labyrinths, but I've also seen them in my other jobs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All of them are as strong as knights or stronger than knights in general.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There must be maybe a thousand knights of that strength at a glance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once again, we look outside the breached gate, that is, in the direction from which the cavalry has run.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how much I tried to use "far-sighting," I could not see any other cavalry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, is that the entire force over there?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I once heard a rough standard of strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A nobleman would have a knight under his command, the knight would lead his squire, and the squire would lead the common soldiers into battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roughly speaking, rank there corresponds to strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A squire can win a battle with 10 common soldiers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A knight can take on ten squires and still fight or even win.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the head class of a noble family can take on a group of such knights even if they attack together.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, such a simple calculation is not possible, but I think it is not wrong to say that they are at least that strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, against a knight, even if a weak one tries to fight with only numbers, he will be kicked out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......They are organized by nearly 1,000 people who are capable of surpassing such knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't get it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've been in the depths of the labyrinth, and I'm a surprisingly good opponent against knights, and I even beat them once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it's like a one-on-one match without any interference.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not only their physical strength that makes knights strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is because they have the ability to overwhelm the small fry and are equipped with good weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For example, a sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If both players have the same ability, the weapon they have often decides the winner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, those who have better weapons than their opponents, i.e., those who come from good backgrounds and have money, are stronger than their opponents.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the weapons they have are strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even now, the sword that cut down a defender who came out to stop the invading cavalry is a work of art.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unlike ordinary swords, the blade of the sword is speckled with patterns, giving it a mysterious glow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it was the least prestigious weapon in the group's arsenal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　About half of the cavalrymen have magic swords.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is really wrong with my eyes?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It can't be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Expensive magic swords are the kind that have been handed down from generation to generation in noble families and knightly families, and it is unthinkable that half of a troop has one and actually uses it in battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it seemed to me that it was a magic sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... perhaps it is a sword that has the effect of improving the sharpness of the blade or making it more difficult to break.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword itself doesn't seem to be a magic sword, but it seems to be very sturdy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because even now, I don't feel that the sword is damaged at all, even though I'm smashing through the metal armors of the defenders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even the magic sword seems to be in a haze.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The giant man who first broke through the gate stands out a lot, but there were also other bad guys.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess they are the head of the ...... class.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Among the cavalrymen who entered the labyrinthine city, there were some who looked particularly strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They invoked magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was not the ordinary magic used by ordinary knights, but a magic called "higher magic".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Large ice animals were running wild in the labyrinth town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Was it an ice wolf that ran the furthest?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the back of the cavalry is a large ice tortoise, perhaps a lord in charge of the cavalry, protecting them from attacks from the rear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are also an ice serpent and a great monkey.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... is the head of the family, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, no, no, no. Isn't that crazy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because don't the most powerful people at the head of a family usually have a large army of 5,000 or 10,000 men?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why are there so many heads of families in a group of only 1,000 people?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And even if there is a leader of the family, he/she is usually said to be preserved in the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is simple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ordinary knights are no match for the leader class.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, when they fight against the leader class, the other side will also fight against the leader class.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the other knight has already used his power when the other knight comes out, he will lose the game.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I have heard that it is said to wait and see until the opponent's leader class comes out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I guess it doesn't matter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because they've probably already checked out the master class that's here when they attacked this labyrinth town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, what are you going to do, Lyushka?　Shouldn't we go stop them?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you serious, Jane?　We can't stop it. If we leave, we'll just die for nothing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But!　I know a lot of people in this labyrinthine city. And there are also those kids who are resting after being injured. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then let's not go to stop them, even more so. Maybe we'll lose this labyrinth town. Then let's move on that basis. Luckily there's no inn for them in the direction the cavalry's moving. Evacuation should be our priority.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Shit. Okay, okay, okay, okay. But I think the Percivals are coming out. He's the head of the family too. We can't just run away here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... will be impossible. It's not right. I don't think a parasite like that, who only increased his magical power by hiding in the labyrinth, can beat the white devil even if he has the higher magic of the master class.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Percival family, the great nobility that rules this land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naturally, there is a person who can be called the head of the family to rule this labyrinthine city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I didn't think he would be of any use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The labyrinth town developed around the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the labyrinths, we can get magic stones and materials for weapons and armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So this is an important place for the Percival family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, to protect this important place, the Percival family has its head of the family here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the man who is here now is a man who became the head of the family by virtue of his family's position, and he has a bad reputation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For generations, the head of the family who ruled this labyrinthine city had been known to hone his skills by diving into the labyrinth himself, and was respected for his strength and deep knowledge of and fear of the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the current generation of labyrinth city lords had guards when they dived into the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They left the fighting in the labyrinth to those who had the ability to dive deep into the labyrinth, and simply followed them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naturally, it is difficult for even those who are capable of diving deep into the labyrinth to move as usual when they have an escort.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But, unlike the noble labyrinthine lords before him, he was arrogant, selfish, and disobedient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Our search party was made up of only women, and I still remember the one time I received a request that made me feel terrible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is said that even such an action of "taking someone around" can increase the amount of magic power if you experience activities in the deep layer where magic power is dense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, there may be a case that he appoints knights who are convenient for him to increase the amount of magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why we don't need to see the result to know it clearly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think that a man who only has magical power can beat that cavalry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There's a great monster in that cavalry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's ordering the head of the class who uses higher magic to do something while he's pushing toward the control area of the labyrinth town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We will probably end up fighting in the control area where he is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's go, Jane. We need to save our lives."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I know. Okay, Lyushka. But we can at least evacuate the people who live in the city. If we miss them, we'll go to the other gates where there's a big traffic jam and we'll have to evacuate the people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, let's do what we can."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then we abandoned our work and went down the outer wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The search party might have something to say about it later, but it would be all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We went back to the inn, let the wounded escape, and led the evacuees away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I found out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I learned that the white devil had overthrown him who was sitting on his haunches in the Labyrinthine District.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Our labyrinth town fell that day.
