38 - a herd of auger






 Adventurers are fighting an ogre.



"It's headed your way! We have to hunt it before it gets too close to the walls!"

"No! They'll get past us! Get out of there!



Almost there! I'm telling you, the Knights have been called upon this time! Even if we can't beat them, we can hold out until the Knights arrive."

No. No. They'll just come in and take all the credit. We're more interested in ......."



 We were on an urgent mission to kill an ogre.

 We were delayed because of other requests we had received, but it seems no one has died yet.



"We're late! Patra, take command! We'll hunt them all down!

I'm on it, papa!



 We were told that five ogres had appeared near King's Landing, so we made an emergency trip to the forest of Grundle, east of King's Landing. When we arrived, the adventurers were already fighting, but they were having a hard time.



"Rock, you're too slow! Go through it with your flaming spear!"

 The spear pierced one of the ogre's legs, and when it collapsed, the other adventurers cut at it.



 The only group fighting well was the one with Emmy and Kala.

 The two members of their party, without a vanguard, had managed to deal with the ogre by forming an emergency party.



I'm sorry I'm late. I'll make up for it now.

 I cast a support spell on the allies around me, improving their basic strength.



AB and CD take that one, E and Mr. Gargoyle take that one. Shannon, you go that way with me.



 I think they can handle Emmy and Kara.

 Then I'll go take out the remaining one.



"Lucky."

--Yes. You can go all out, can't you?

"Yeah. That's what I meant.



 The ogre was a B to A rank demon among demons.

 It's unusual for an ogre to appear this close to King's Landing, but it was unusual for five to appear at the same time.

 Oops. While I was thinking about something else, Lucky killed one of the ogres in an instant.



--This isn't even good exercise.

"Don't say that. What about the other members of ......?"



 Orange Ant AB and CD were putting up a good fight against the ogre without any danger.

 Orange Ant is also ranked B, so this result is not surprising if they cooperate with adventurers.



 The pair of Shannon and Patra had already brought the ogre to his knees and were close to putting an end to him.



 The pair of Orange Antoine E and Mr. Gargoyle was ......

 E is fighting a solitary battle.



 I don't know what the seal is, Mr. Gargoyle. I don't know what it is, but I think we should break the seal.

"Lucky, after saving Mr. Gargoyle's place, we'll go to Emmy and the others to see what's going on."

--Yes.



 Mr. Gargoyle is casting wind magic, but it seems to be a little too strong for the ogre, and not enough to be an attack. It doesn't work on the ogre.



 Meanwhile, E is trying his best to catch the attack and gain some hate.

 The adventurers can't even help at that level.



 We go to E's aid.

 Lucky slashes at the ogre's leg, bringing it to one knee.

 Orange Ant E doesn't miss the opportunity and hits him in the other leg.



 Orange Ant has a power so strong that it is hard to believe that he is so small.

 The leg of the ogre bends in a strange direction.



 As the ogre falls to his knees, another adventurer shoots him in the face with magic.

 The ogre is on a rampage, probably out of impatience at losing his vision.



"Okay! "All of you, follow Mr. Locke's followers! We can push him back!"

"Oh!"



 After being an adventurer for three years, I've come to know a lot of adventurers.

 And because of the previous incident, it naturally became known that I had a follower with me.



 We take our distance for a moment and take stock of the entire battlefield.

 It's not every day that my followers get to fight A-ranked demons and cooperate with other adventurers, so I try to keep an eye on the power balance and make adjustments as needed.






 We had already won.

 Patra was not only good in her own battle, but also in the whole.

 I have nothing but praise for her coordination with Shannon.



 In no time at all, an ogre is down and Shannon is assisting Orange Ant E.

 Gargoyle, don't sulk ...... and fight.



 A few moments later, all the ogres were successfully defeated.

 It's not every day that an anomaly like this occurs, but we made it through without any deaths.



 Kara heals the injured with her magic.

"Thank you, saint!"

 She was not a saintly saint, but she seemed to have changed her mind.



"Hmm. I'm not thanking you, I just need some new clothes.

"What?"

 The adventurer is frozen.

 Of course they are. Kara's foul mouth hadn't changed.



 I helped the adventurers to heal, and when they were done, the Knights of the Kingdom arrived.

"Adventurers, I am Marcus, Commander of the Royal Guard. I thank you for your cooperation. In order to find out the cause of the outburst of the ogre, the Knights will examine the corpse of the ogre. No objections will be accepted.



 The knights of this country took the credit with or without saying so.

 It seems that there will be another dispute between the guild leader and the Knights.
