I felt guilty as I watched the people around me look at me in a way that turned more awe-inspiring.
I'm sorry, but the abilities you guys need to cultivate I acquired just by brushing up on my skills. Don't look at me with admiration, that will only make my whole body uncomfortable ah....
But my heart would not be conveyed to them, so I had to silently nod my head and agree with their words.
But what actually bothered me the most was the ability given by that [Magic Guide's Sword Hider]. It's good to be able to reduce magic consumption by 20%, but I can't fight properly with a book in one hand and a sword in the other, otherwise why would I want a magic armband?
Isn't this a delay?
Hey, I can only make a little use of it when using large magic, otherwise I really can't do anything about it.
"Ahem, let's get back to the main topic, after all, the hidden danger of the magic beast hasn't been removed yet, there's no point in discussing my identity, is there?"
My words calmed everyone down, and the report of the crusade continued.
A total of 23 mercenary corps, plus my mercenary squad, crusaded a total of 26 large magical beasts, basically wiping out all the large magical beasts in the vicinity.
But at the same time, the mercenary corps also lost quite a few people, but they were basically those low-level mercenaries.
........
It always feels like the overall situation is similar to what I reasoned, [Snake Eyes] This is the overall level of people who use beasts to advance this world... What are these people thinking? What's the point of that?
And according to them, the locations where those beasts appeared were distributed in a circular pattern around Blue Lake City... it felt like they were specifically placed there for others to crusade against!
"In that case, the crusade against the large beasts near Blue Lake City should be complete, thank you all very much for your help, the citizens of Blue Lake City will not forget your help."
President Maristo summed up with a smile, although she actually talked a lot of nonsense, but it was all skipped over while I was imagining things.
"Hey, but this is really unpleasant, it's clearly something that should be done by those national gendarmes, but it ended up falling on us, really, we mercenary corps also have to pay our taxes properly ah."
Suddenly, someone inside the heads of those mercenary corps complained like this.
"That's right, still care about the stuff continental war, your own house is about to be stabbed by a beast, and you're still messing around there."
A single complaint caused the conference room to enter a state of chaos, and everyone's complaints followed one after another.
The National Gendarmerie was actually the general term for all the city guards, territorial guards, state patrol guards, and Praetorian Guards. Some countries also have private mercenaries, usually hired by the nobles themselves on top of their own territorial guards, these mercenaries are usually sent out by large mercenary groups outside, some mercenary groups are specializing in this kind of business.
According to what the chairman said before, most of the country's gendarmes have now received orders from the king to go to the border cities in the east, so there are not enough troops to crush the beasts?
It always sounds like a joke....
"Really, I was wondering if I should be stationed in a city in another country, the ruler of this country isn't working anymore."
"That won't help."
I interrupted him directly.
"My squad came from the Aes Empire side, and the Hell Spider Flower was also encountered halfway here, but according to what you guys said, it seems like you've seen that beast before then, which means it went straight from the Blue Lake City side to the inside of the forest at the old site of the Polyglot Academy... Although I don't know Why? But apparently the location of these beasts isn't actually fixed, so maybe there are beasts in other cities as well."
"Are those magical beasts mobile? That's really troublesome. What are these beasts doing out here if they're not staying in the deep woods? A walk?"
"Maybe that's it, President Maristo!"
I turned to look at her.
"Yes?"
"You once said there was a war council before you went on your crusade, didn't you? Then may I assume that you have sent someone to do the preliminary reconnaissance as well?"
"Are you referring to the Beast? Actually, we're only confirming the location of those beasts based on the sighting information from merchants as well as mercenaries, and then we're sending out crusaders according to the possible routes of progress of those beasts."
"I see, so does anyone know where those magical beasts actually came from?"
"It's probably from inside those ancient forests, after the disappearance of the Duo Ge Academy, those forests around the Duo Ge Academy were left unattended, and the northernmost part of those forests is connected to the Broken Mountains and the forest sea, those beasts probably came in from there."
One of the mercenaries said.
"...Is that so? But those beasts themselves live inside their own territory, so why would they run out? This means that something is attracting them out. Moreover, when the beasts attacked the city before, those beasts attacked in an organized manner, which means that we can assume that someone is controlling the beasts to attack the city, and at the same time, attracting a large number of large beasts to attack the city."
Although I think there are probably people among the many who have come up with this possibility, but...maybe it's because I don't know this world well enough, so I can't understand why they didn't say anything, right?
"That makes sense, but how can a creature like a beast that lives by instinct take orders?"
"No no no!"
The other mercenary called out.
"Orcs actually have a little flute that can be used on a certain level to control some beasts with a certain melody, so maybe it's..."
Just halfway through everyone looked at him with pitiful eyes.
........
Is it possible that everyone knows such a thing, but doesn't want to mention the orcs?
"If it was an orc..."
"That's an unprecedented crisis facing this country."
Hey hey hey, you guys are overthinking it, it's just a bunch of ballsy guys trying to make you survive the fittest, it probably has nothing to do with the orcs.
"Maybe it's just someone who acquired that flute, it's not good to be so direct about the orcs, right?"
I immediately raised my objection.
"If you don't want to get tangled up, then please ask the chairman to give me this assignment."
I said with a smile.
"I'm going to the forest to search for evidence of the source of those beasts!"
