Ambush the White Wolf?"

　Neil frowned at Glenn's words.

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

'We're falling behind the 'Arsenal of Spirits' alliance, and this is the situation?'

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

It's precisely because of this situation."

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

　Glen responded in a strong tone, as if defeated.

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

Even if we were to continue to desperately pursue the "Spirit Arsenal" and overtake them and procure the ore first, we would still be severely depleted. If that happens, the "White Wolf" will target us on the way back anyhow. If that is the case, it would be better to ambush the "White Wolf" here and crush it.

......"

If we can beat the bandit guild, we won't have to compete with the 'arsenal of spirits' in the first place. There are plenty of places to mine. We can also free our friends who are captives of the White Wolf. We may even be able to regain the trust of the local guilds, which are now leaning toward the "Arsenal of Spirits. It would also improve the morale of the local guilds, which has been a pending issue.

You know what I mean. You can't just split a unit in two and expect to accomplish nothing, can you?"

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

　Neil said, glaring at me as if testing me.

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

　Glen returned the glare with a look of determination.

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

He said, "...... okay. Okay," Glenn replied. Let's regroup."

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

　Neil left one-third of his troops with Glenn and sent him on an ambush mission against the "White Wolf.

What?　The Grand Alliance has stopped moving?

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

　Jamil frowned at the strange report from the scout.

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

　He immediately went on a reconnaissance mission himself to confirm the formation of the "Wise Man's Crown.

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

　He could indeed see the "Grand Alliance" troops stationed on the plains, motionless.

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

　Jamil had Rodo ride "Fafnir" to scout the area, and he learned that there was a unit of the "Grand Alliance" moving ahead in the dungeon.

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

(I see. (I see... They split their forces into two and tried to procure ore while holding us off on the other side.)

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

　Jamil appraised the status of the enemy from a distance, and found one person with unusually high magical power.

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

(Is this magic power Glen Ross, the leading attack mage? Neil Dioclea and Ian Ugberg are not here. Okay.)

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

　Jamil selected some of the best performers in the unit, who were exceptionally fast on the run, to form a special unit.

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

Jamil selected those who were exceptionally fast and good performers among his troops to form a special unit. You guys. When you attack the "Grand Alliance," pretend to be defeated and run away at a moderate distance. Then lure them to the bottom of the valley."

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

　On Jamil's order, a special unit headed for the "Grand Alliance" position under the guise of being on guard.

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

When they saw the "Grand Alliance" deploying, they hastily began to form up, as if they had just noticed it.

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

It's the Grand Alliance.

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

They're right in front of us.

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

Form up," he said. Hurry."

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

（Here they come.)

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

　Glenn was filled with fighting spirit.

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

(It was a level battle with no difference in elevation. In this case, ground power would be the decisive factor. There is no reason not to fight!)

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

Charge!　Show those sneaky bandits what you see!"

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

The vanguard of the "Grand Alliance" charged in unison.

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

　The two units engaged in an even white battle for a while, but the "White Wolf" collapsed when Glen unleashed his "Blast Flame Magic".

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

'Ooooh!'

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

Glen Ross is here.

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

Run away. Retreat!"

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

The "White Wolf" bandits begin to flee.

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

The "White Wolf" bandits begin to flee. Give chase."

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

　Glenn ordered.

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

Please wait."

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

　A local adventurer stopped him.

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

What the hell?"

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

Strange, isn't it?　This movement of the "White Wolf". Normally, they hide in the shadows of the mountains and never show themselves, but today they are strangely and openly challenging us to a fight.

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

The enemy must have been caught off guard. "The enemy must have been caught off guard. If they always fight in favorable situations, they will naturally become more determined. Here we go."

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

But it could be a trap. As I recall, there is a perfect place for an ambush ahead, surrounded by cliffs on all sides. They may be trying to lure us there.

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

You are thinking too much. If we sit on our hands like this, we will miss a great opportunity. Come on, let's go."

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

We can at least send out scouts to see what's going on. ......

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

You're being a pain in the ass. If we wait too long, we'll lose our chance to pursue. Come on, men, get to it!　Victory is at hand. We must make amends for all that we have done.

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

　Without looking aside, Glenn and his team pursued the bandits.

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

　On the way, they encountered several units of "white wolves" who seemed to be waiting behind them, but each time they fought and kicked them away, driving them to a place surrounded by cliffs.

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

(They fled one after another. (They ran away one after another.) I knew this feeling was not a trap, and I could only think that they were running away in a panic due to an unexpected situation. (This may be an unexpectedly high war result.)

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

　Glenn is finally fired up and ready to go after them in earnest.

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

　However, when the "White Wolf" bandits reached the narrow exit at the bottom of the valley, they suddenly turned around and showed their fighting stance.

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

　Behind them, the troops that had been waiting for them appeared.

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

Mwah. Is that the main group?"

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

　They were not the only ones who showed up.

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

　The bandits, who had also been lurking on the cliff, appeared, shot bows and arrows at them, scattered water chestnuts along the path that Glenn and his men had come, blocked their escape route, and hurt them badly from all directions.

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

　After being attacked one-sidedly for a while, Glenn and his men surrendered.

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

　Jamil was pleased to see Guren among the prisoners.

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

(Okay, we've taken one of the A-class guys. The ransom alone will pay for itself. Now the "Grand Alliance" is dead in the water. All we have to do now is to destroy the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance.)

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

　While Glen was suffering a disastrous defeat at the hands of the "White Wolf," Neal and his team were pursuing their own contradictory strategies.

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

Rather than stop competing with the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance, they were speeding up the mountain.

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

(The fewer people we have, the faster we can march. ) "This way, we can catch up with the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance!

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

　They are willing to let their status wear out and try to catch up with the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance.

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

　Feeling concerned, Ian spoke to Neil.

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

Neil, I think you should slow down a little. At this rate, we will catch up with the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance.

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

We're going to catch up." And then we'll overtake them."

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

Overtake?　I thought you were going to seize the "White Wolf" and eliminate the need to compete with the "Arsenal of Spirits."

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

It's only because we've seized the 'White Wolf. Now you don't have to worry about going home. We can concentrate on competing with the 'Arsenal of Spirits' alliance as much as we want. Besides, there's nothing better than collecting ore quickly, is there? The first one to return to the city is considered the winner.

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

　Ian was getting anxious.

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

　He also felt trapped by the fact that he had to split his unit in two in the first place.

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

　If the troops were separated like this, they would be easy prey for individual attacks.

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

　However, he could not turn back now.

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

　As for Ian, he had no choice but to catch up with the "Spirit Arsenal" alliance as quickly as possible, as Neil had said.

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

　Thanks to his efforts, the "Grand Alliance" was able to get within a few hours of the tail end of the "Spirit Arsenal" alliance.

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

Leon, who was in command of the tail of the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance, detected the "Grand Alliance" approaching from the rear as a result of his spotting.

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

(The "Grand Alliance" is approaching. What should we do?)

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

Roland, who leads the center of the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance, is about eight hours away.

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

　Should they rush there, call for reinforcements, or fight alone?

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

(Reinforcements from Roland will not arrive in time. (Reinforcements from Roland will not arrive in time, so we have no choice but to deal with the situation alone.)

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

　Fortunately, a suitable high ground for defense was right next to us.

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

　Leon decided to block the road and take up a position on the high ground, and then wait to see what the enemy would do.

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

　Soon after, the "Grand Alliance" arrived.

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

　When they saw Leon and his men taking position on the high ground, they deployed their own troops and prepared to meet the battle.

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

　Leon smiled at the sight of them.

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

(I had heard that there were no one with command aptitude in the "Wise Man's Crown," but ......, I see, this is terrible.)

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

　It was obvious that his agility was rattled even without a status appraisal due to the forced march.

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

　Moreover, no one was guarding the high ground behind us.

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

　Some of the local adventurers were looking anxious and cringing.

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

　They did not seem to know what role they were supposed to play.

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

　It was obvious from Leon's location that instructions were not being communicated well.

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

　Leon decided to occupy the high ground behind the enemy.

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

　He sends a squad of archers with high agility around and has them "bow-fire" from behind the "Grand Alliance".

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

What are you doing?

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

　Neil rushed to regain the high ground, but the exhausted and demoralized troops would not move from the spot, fearing the "bow shot".

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

　Neil and his team had no choice but to fall back and wait until their agility was restored.

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

　Leon quickly uses the opportunity to head for today's target and scatters the enemy's pursuit.

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

　After that, Roland and his team arrived at the mining site first, without attracting the "Grand Alliance".

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

While the three-way battle in the "volcano dungeon" was sparking off, there was new activity in the city.

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

　On the main street leading to the harbor, near the "Dragon's Fires," some kind of new building was being constructed.

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

　People on the street were stopping in front of the construction site and gossiping about what kind of building was going to be built.

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

　Medes was one of them, looking up at the building.

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

It's quite a big building, isn't it?

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

　Medes spoke to a gentleman observing nearby.

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

Oh, isn't that Mr. Medes?

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

Who in the world could that be?　Who is going to build such a magnificent facility?

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

Apparently, they are local adventurers who have joined the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance.

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

How?"　The "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance is .......

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

Yes," he said. Yes, that's right. It's time for the Alliance to have a base of operations.

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

I'm not sure I'd like that. It's a very economical story, isn't it? Unusual for a local adventurer.

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

The Arsenal of Spirits alliance has been on a winning streak lately.

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

　The gentleman said in an exuberant tone, unable to hide his inner joy.

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

　As a prominent local figure, he was thrilled by the progress of the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance.

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

He said, "I heard that the name of the alliance will be changed to the 'Spirit Alliance' on this occasion.

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

How delightful it is."

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

　Medes chatted with the gentleman with an affectionate smile on his face throughout.

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

(Hmmm. That Roland guy, I never thought he'd make it this far with the local adventurers.)

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

　After parting with the gentleman, Medes continued to walk leisurely through the streets in a good mood.

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

　In fact, he was not in a bad mood.

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

What does it matter if the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance has developed?

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

　It is the adventurers from outside who are troubled, and there is no real harm in "Dragon's Fires.

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

　After all, the "Arsenal of Spirits" led by Roland only dealt with local adventurers, while guilds from outside the island dropped money into the "Dragon's Fires.

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

　Now I don't know why I was so hostile toward Roland.

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

　Rather, I now feel that Roland, like "White Wolf," is a potential friend.

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

　In fact, thanks to the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance's defeat of the "Wise Man's Crown" in the previous negotiations, they succeeded in raising the cost of the equipment.

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

(Yes. No need to be bothered about it. We just need to live separately. We do the outside work and they do the local work. That's fine. Establish a base of operations near our studio?　That's a good thing, isn't it? (If you want, it might be possible to make a deal with the "Arsenal of Spirits" alliance as well as the "White Wolf" alliance by joining forces behind the scenes.)

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

　Thinking of such a carefree thought, Medes went to work at "Dragon's Fireside" again today.

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

　But when he opened the door, he found that it was not a base for adventurers, but a workshop (atelier) for the new "Arsenal of Spirits.

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

　At the entrance facing the street, there is a store.

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

　On the stylish window that decorates the exterior of the store, equipment handled at the workshop (atelier) is displayed, and the status and even the budget for the group are written on the window.

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

　It was clearly designed to sell to outside adventurers' guilds.

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

　Roland had no intention of coexisting with "Dragon's Fires.

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

　The new workshop (atelier) was built to steal customers from the "Dragon's Fires.
