　The "Spirit Alliance," which defeated the "Red Sands Player" with a single touch of its armor, continued to run up the mountain without slowing down.

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

　Eventually, they supplemented the "Archers of the Fortress" and launched a battle.

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

　The "Fortress Archers," accustomed to fighting in the mountains, were unfazed and prepared to respond by taking advantage of their elevated position.

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

　Roland and his men, judging that it would be disadvantageous to start fighting right away, did not immediately launch a battle, but instead passed their position and continued onward, encamping when they reached the high ground (Robert, the commander of the "Fortress Archers," and Jeremy, his deputy, were wondering whether to attack the "Spirit League" passing through a lower position than theirs). (I wasn't sure, but decided to let it slide on this occasion).

　The next day, they intercepted the "archers of the fortress" who were chasing them.

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

　A firefight began.

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

While the "Fortress Archers" deployed a squad of archers, Hans was aiming at the enemy from a slightly distant location.

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

　The distance was out of range and could never be reached before, but now it was as far as he could reach.

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

　When Hans' arrow hit one of the enemy archers, there was a commotion among them.

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

　When he hit another archer, the uproar turned into a flutter.

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

　It was a lucky shot.

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

　There was no way he could have hit them by shooting arrows from such a distance.

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

That's what everyone in the "Archers of the Fortress" thought.

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

　But on the other hand, perhaps the "Spirit League" has a bowman (archer) with a ridiculously long range.

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

　It was clear from their unsure steps whether to advance or hide that they were wavering between these two emotions.

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

　When Hans defeated the third archer, the "Fortress Archers" panicked.

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

　They were still out of range of Hans' position, but they were shooting arrows at him in the dark.

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

All of the arrows of the "fortress archer" fell at Hans' feet just before they reached him.

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

(I don't think I'm going to hit anything. And I don't feel like missing ......!)

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

　Hans released his fourth arrow of the day.

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

　The arrow hits the enemy archer straight on.

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

　Alice and Claire rolled their eyes when they saw Hans' shot.

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

（Hans' shot was amazing. He hit it from such a long way away with a hundred hits. This is the A class bowman (archer)......)

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

Alice, Claire."

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

Yes, sir.

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

Hand me the arrow. I'll probably have the best chance of shooting it, and I'll save you some arrows."

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

Okay. Okay.

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

Claire is on the lookout for the enemy's rear guard with her "far-sighted" vision. Alice, use your 'hate focus' to distract the enemy as they approach.

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

　Claire's eyes well up at the sight of Hans' bravery.

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

(Hans. I never knew you could be so dependable. It seems like a long time ago when I was just pacing around. I'm so happy for you, Sis.)

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

Jeremy, the second-in-command of the Fortress Archers, was desperately trying to move his troop of archers forward.

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

What are you doing? What are you doing? Get closer and shoot. You're not going to hit anything if you don't."

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

　However, Jeremy and his team were never able to even get Hans within range.

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

(That's ridiculous. The best archer squad in "Archers of the Fortress" can't even get a foot in the door. And that against the local adventurers of this island. ...... There must be some mistake. Such, such ......)

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

　Jeremy huffs and puffs as he senses a deadly force from the enemy.

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

　They are aiming at us.

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

　He readied his bow and arrow to return fire.

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

What are you doing? What are you doing, Jeremy? Why don't we take out the enemy archers quickly?

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

　Roberto, the captain, who had seen what was happening, came blasting in (he was leading the white troops and timing their assault).

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

　However, he was immediately shot by a flying arrow.

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

G, ah ......."

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

Roberto. d*mn you!"

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

　Jeremy shoots back an arrow, but it is far from where Hans is.

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

　Hans moves back with ease.

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

　Jeremy is aghast.

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

（He had to have been aiming at me just now, and then changed his aim to Roberto right before.　I was the one who had you in my sights now. (And yet ......)

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

　That is, Hans has no problem with Jeremy's "bow shooting" at all.

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

　Furthermore, it means that he could afford to change his aim even while facing him in this way.

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

　Hans' series of action choices were enough to make Jeremy lose his will to fight by making him realize the hopeless difference in their abilities.

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

　The two guilds then combined their white army units into a formation battle, but they were quickly overpowered by Will's "blast magic".

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

The "Archers of the Fortress" also fell to their knees before the "Alliance of Spirits.

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

　This was quickly conveyed to the preceding "Knights of the Black Wall.

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

What?　The "Archers of the Fortress" were beaten by the "Spirit League"?

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

　Simon could not believe his ears when he heard the report from Liz, who was standing guard behind him.

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

'There must be some kind of mistake.　The "Archers of the Fortress" is a guild with a powerful archery unit. They also have a lot of experience in fighting in volcanic dungeons. There is no way they can be beaten by those weak local adventurers. ......

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

The "League of Spirits" really did it. The reports from all the scouts are the same. The Fortress Archers have surrendered to a squadron equipped with spirit emblems.

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

'No, that can't be right. ...... For example, the guys from the local guild are working with the 'Red Sands Players' ......."

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

The "Spirit League" is acting alone. I've checked it many times and I'm sure of it.

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

　Liz said with a hint of unconcealed irritation in her voice.

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

　Something is happening that we don't understand.

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

　If we don't deal with it soon, something irreversible will happen.

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

　That's what her gut was telling her.

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

(The Arsenal of Spirits, ....... The Guardian of the Magic Tree" ....... These two guilds somewhere ......)

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

Yes, that's right. I remember. Legendary connoisseur!"

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

　Archie, who had been silent until then, suddenly shouted.

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

What is it?　What's up, Archie?

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

'I remember now. The "Arsenal of Spirits" and the "Guardians of the Magic Tree. These are two guilds that I thought I had heard of somewhere, that have grown rapidly in the City of Adventurers."

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

What the hell does that have to do with anything?"

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

I'm sure you've both heard of it at one time or another. You must have both heard rumors about a legendary connoisseur who has appeared in the City of Adventurers. Until recently, the "Adventurer's Town" was said to be a Class A wasteland. However, one day, A-class adventurers and A-class alchemists suddenly began to appear in droves in the guilds of this town. Lukius, Arik, Sebasta, Dorwin, Jill, and Lilianne. The "Adventurer's Town" became one of the most famous cities in the world for A-class adventurers, and it is said that there is a skilled connoisseur behind this A-class uprising. There were rumors that there was a skilled connoisseur behind this A-class uprising.

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

I've certainly overheard talk of such things. ......

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

Don't tell me that legendary appraiser is now siding with the League of Spirits?

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

Yes," he said. When you think about it that way, it all makes sense. The fact that the Red Sands Player and the Fortress Archer were killed, and the rapid growth of local adventurers in this short period of time ......

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

　Even as Archie spoke, the crisis was steadily approaching.

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

　Already the "Spirit League" had exposed part of its image to the "Knights of the Black Wall.

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

　On the narrow mountain road below, a group equipped with weapons from the "Spirit Arsenal" could be seen marching.

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

'The alchemist we met as soon as we got down to the harbor said. He said they had brought up local adventurers to A class. Supposedly, there are several A-class adventurers in that unit who were raised by the legendary appraiser."

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

What a ......." I'm going to put the adventurers on this island in the A class at ......."

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

What?"　You mean I can get an A class if I have that person appraise me?　No way. Then I might want to have mine appraised."

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

　Liz said.

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

'You idiot. I don't have time for this. They defeated the Red Sands Players and the Fortress Archers. Naturally, there is a high possibility that they will attack us as well. We must take countermeasures as soon as possible. What in the world should we do? ......

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

How about sending a messenger?

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

　Archie suggested.

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

Even they are adventurers. They are adventurers. If we can find out why they are attacking outside adventurers, we may be able to find a way to avoid fighting them.

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

I'll be right back. I'll send a messenger as soon as possible. Liz, Archie. You guys up for a messenger?

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

Yes, sir.

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

I'll be there as soon as I can."

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

　Liz and Archie quickly took the minimum number of people and ran down the mountain.

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

　In the meantime, Simon was ready for battle in case negotiations broke down.

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

　Soon, Liz and Archie returned and informed us of the results of the negotiations with the "Spirit Alliance.

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

Captain, I understand what the 'Spirit Alliance' intends to do.

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

Oh, I see. So?　Why are they attacking us?"

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

The reason they are attacking us is because we have made a pact with the Dragon's Fires.

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

They have only one request. They have only one demand: that we dissolve our contract with Fiery Dragon.

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

What?　Dissolving a contract with "Dragon's Fires"?　That's impossible. We have already paid three maintenance fees to "Dragon's Fires". If we cancel now, we will be charged a huge penalty. Go ask them to let us off under other conditions somehow."

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

　Simon sent them out again.

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

　I made sure they both had the following possible concession proposals.

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

When the paths of the "Spirit Alliance" crossed theirs, they were to give way and never interfere.

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

　Cooperate with them in providing the necessary supplies in terms of items and equipment.

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

　If you wish, you may provide logistical support to the "Spirit League" in their dungeon attack.

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

　Simon waited for them to return with prayerful anticipation.

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

　In the meantime, the "Spirit Alliance" was steadily preparing to attack.

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

　They gradually encircled the small hill where Simon and the others were.

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

　Simon and the others could see the sharp arrowheads of the enemy with their naked eyes.

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

　Driven by fear, one of the soldiers could lash out and a battle could break out at any moment.

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

　Simon was on edge and waited for Liz and Archie to return.

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

　Eventually, they would return.

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

No," Simon said. After all, the other side says they have no intention of making peace with us unless we dissolve our agreement with the Dragon's Fires.

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

If they continue to make contracts with the "Dragon's Fires," they will be regarded as supplying ore to their enemies, the "White Wolves," and will attack them as soon as they encounter them in the dungeon.

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

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Mmm."

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

　Simon wrinkled his brow in distress.

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

Captain. Let's cancel it now. The contract with Dragon's Fires.

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

　Liz advised.

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

If we continue to contract with the "Dragon's Fires," the risk of being attacked by the "Spirit Alliance" will only increase.

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

I agree. I think it would be better to maintain good relations with the 'Spirit Alliance' in order to gain the cooperation of the local guilds.

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

　Archie said, agreeing with Liz.

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

　Simon was still thinking about it, but when the "Spirit League" had finished positioning the archers and shieldmen and was finally ready to attack, he decided to go for it.

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

Simon was still troubled. I will do as they demand. From now on, we will cancel our contract with the "Dragon's Fires" and join the "Spirit League.

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

　Thus, the "Knights of the Black Wall" also fell under the military command of the "Spirit League.

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

The "Spirit League" ceased its attack on the "Knights of the Black Cliffs.

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

　Simon was amazed at Roland's skill.

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

(The captain of the "Spirit League" must be quite a man, with this decisive attitude and quick use of troops.)
