When I woke up, I was clinging to May's body. Sheep's wool is truly a wonder. Warm in winter, cool in summer. I stroked May's head for a while, enjoying the feeling. I wanted to enjoy this time for a while, but it was not the case today. I get up from the bed with a feeling of dread in my heart.

I enjoy the breakfast that Peris and the others have prepared for me. Ferris seems to be learning things well and is mastering some of the dishes. He has mastered some dishes, such as an omelette, which he makes with great skill. We look forward to seeing more of him in the future.

After breakfast, May hands me a sword.

The master doesn't like to cut people. So I made a light but hard sword. Please try it if you have the chance.

It was made like a Japanese sword similar to the "Onikiri" and when it was pulled out of its scabbard, a jet-black sword was revealed. It is as light as if it were holding a branch. However, it is said to be hard enough to bend even a block of iron. I named it "Black Sword. From now on, I will stand on the battlefield with the "Onikiri" and the "Black Sword" at my waist and the "Holy Sword" on my back.

With the sword at his waist, he gathers the members of yesterday's group and rides in the transition zone again. I hear the report about last night in Krumfal territory and am relieved to hear that there was no problem. I don't know where they brought it from, but it seems that the Imperial Knights have started drinking and their voices were heard until late at night.

In the early afternoon, Baron Jono came into the reception room where we were.

"Since you have no further questions, I will now return. I wish you good luck.

"Take care on your way."

With a grin, Jono left the room and the Imperial Guard left the mansion. Immediately after witnessing this, I gather all the people in the house into the stable.

"Get everyone ready for battle! Pius, Partan, Popia, Nokita, and Arga follow me. The rest of you men will guard the house. Rico and Quena stay at the villa. Ferris, you stay here too. Protect Rico and the others if the bandits attack. Can you do that?"

Rico asked with a worried look on his face.

"If I'm the leader of the bandits, I'll try to get them when the Imperial Guard retreats. The peace of mind of going home usually distracts my attention. Besides, it's hard to fight a retreat. I don't think they have that kind of skill. I'm sure the bandits know that. It is easy to win if we surprise them from the woods and divide them while they are retreating. But that's where we'll hit them. The bandits will not doubt the success of their plan. That's where they let their guard down. If we strike there, we can easily win even with a small number of men.

Checking the map, I see all the bandits moving through the forest. I immediately order my men to go to battle, and I step over to Ilimo.

I set up a position where I could see the forest and the road, and had the harpies standing by in the sky. I set up wards on everyone there. And they are colored. No weapon or magic will kill them. And then the bandits attacked the imperial army. The flank of the marching column is hit and the Imperial Guard is in chaos. I see this and create a thick fog over the entire battle area.

The deep fog confuses both the Imperial Guard and the bandits. I take advantage of this opportunity to enter the forest and get behind the bandits. I then lift the fog.

On my command, the harpies and the bastards attack the bandits. Some are kicked down and disabled by the harpies, others are cut down by the bastards.

The thieves are equipped with various kinds of gear. Some of them were wearing only their clothes, and some were wearing armor of the knighthood.

The Imperial Knights regrouped and the bandits were completely surrounded. Still, there were many who tried to break through the siege and flee into the woods. They were hit by my "black sword" and immediately lost their ability to fight.

Shouts can be heard from within the Imperial Guard. At that moment, a group of people jumps out from among the Knights. I run after them. While chasing them, I hit them both with my black sword, knocking them out cold. Running in front of me are three men. A few harpies land in front of them.

The fishermen are eating their fill while we farmers are starving without food. We are from the same country and they abandoned us! What's wrong with killing them!

There seems to be a deep-seated problem. But killing an entire town's people is a bit much.

"...Forget it. We can't leave without killing them first. Let's use that."

The head is pulling something out of a bag. The other two produced something similar, and all three swallowed them at the same time.

The three of them grew larger and larger, until they were about three meters in length and took the form of bear-like demons. They also began to take on a hideous demonic air. I appraise their heads.

H!? and M!? are not much. However, the skill level is quite high. It is the same level of skill as that of Madisen, who outclassed Eril and Master Falco. I'd better get serious too. I sheathe my "Black Sword" and draw my Holy Sword. As if on cue, the three attacked me.

The first one held his sword straight at me and lunged. The other two men lunged for the harpy. At first the harpies were confused, but gradually they began to attack in unison, overwhelming the two of us. Soon both of them lost their light after being injured in both eyes by the harpies, and were knocked down by the harpies to finish them off.

The head man, on the other hand, swung his sword at my arm right after I had stopped his special thrust. I ducked and swung my sword. The sword slices through the headman's thigh, and his right leg is stained with blood. But the head man does not care at all and attacks me. He doesn't seem to feel any pain at all, probably due to the physical reinforcement. On the contrary, he used wind magic to make the fallen leaves around him fly up, making himself invisible, and then he drew his sword from the gap.

Most people would have been killed by this, but I, who have presence detection level 5, am useless. I can feel his movements. He moves behind me and thrusts. I duck and counter with a thrust at his throat, stabbing him through the throat.

But the head man was still pierced by my sword and swung it down again. I was a little surprised at this unexpected attack. I pull out my sword and move away from him. The headman, with blood running down his throat, holds up his sword and thrusts at me as before. It seems that he really feels no pain.

I duck the thrust and slash at him with a kesa-gatame. The headman fell to the ground, his body split in half, and finally stopped moving.

After a while, Ausch appeared with Pius and a group of Imperial Knights.

"This one here, cut in half, looks like the head of the bandits. What about the bodies? Are you guys going to collect them?"

"No, we can't afford it. No, we can't afford it. The demons will eat it all. Yeah, we'll take their equipment. But it won't be much to show for it.

Auchet stares at me. Then he turned his back on me and walked away. I examined the corpse, but found that it had only about 500G, but nothing of note. I burned their bodies, since I didn't want to throw them away.

When I left the forest, I found the Imperial Guard. They were throwing a lot of dead bandits into the forest. Furthermore, they seem to be executing the bandits they captured alive without question.

"What, you're not taking them back to the capital?"

We don't have the strength to take you there. It is common knowledge among adventurers that bandits are to be killed as soon as they are found.

"But you are not an adventurer, are you, Sub-Lord Aushe?"

Auche grits his teeth so hard you can almost hear the grinding. I looked over and saw that the bodies of soldiers in the armor of the Imperial Guard were also laid out on the floor. There were about 40 of them. There must be quite a few injured. In short, 30% of the entire army had been killed or wounded. The result of the war is a crushing defeat.

"They died because of the incompetence of their commanders. If I had not come in from behind to reinforce you, you would have been annihilated for sure. Aushe, if you, as deputy commander in charge, had given the proper instructions, this near-defeat would not have occurred. Nevertheless, you were upset and flustered when the bandits poked you in the side. Am I wrong?"

With a spitting order, Auchet returned to his unit.

"Thank you, honorable Marquis, for the reinforcements!"

As soon as the troops were ready, Baron Jono appeared out of nowhere, waving his hand as he pulled them up to the Imperial City.

I turned on my heel without answering him, and walked quickly back to the pavilion with Pius and the others.
