So a swarm of dragons will be coming this way in a few minutes. It's too much trouble, so let's just kill them quickly.
Baba-dono I don't know where to start.
Don't worry, prefect. I don't know myself.

　At the meeting, the old man from Yamak Prefecture and the old man from Baba looked at us in dismay.
　We used the "Gate" to get ahead of them to Brunhild, and we immediately gathered the senior members of the Order and started to talk to them. All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were glazed over, but soon the deputy commander, Nicola-san, came to her senses and got up from her chair in a hurry.

''Wait a minute, Your Majesty. A dragon is that dragon that flies in the sky and spits fire from its mouth?
Yeah, that dragon. Apparently, some idiots are on their way to destroy our country.
Um... how many of them are in a swarm...?
'A normal dragon is about 20? And then there's about 100 pterodactyls like Wyvern. That's not much compared to the Flames the other day, right?
"No, no, no, no,

　I cautiously raise my hand and answer Rain-san, the leader of the group, who asks me a question, and she and Nicola wave their hands in front of me to deny it.

''This is that, right? You mean His Majesty is going to make a quick killing, right?

　With a slightly twitching face, Mr. Norn opened his mouth. The wolf's ears above his head were purring and trembling.

'That's what I thought at first, but, incidentally, I thought I'd use this to my advantage.
"Use?
Yeah. I'm going to train the Knights of the Order in troop movements. Isn't that enough for a dragon?
What?

　Rain-san shouts in surprise. To be honest, I think our knights are pretty strong, but there are few demonic beasts, and due to our location, which is surrounded by the friendly countries of Belfast and Regulus, we have very few opportunities to fight. That's why there was a thought to get a little experience around here.

''Our knightly order has less than a hundred people in the intelligence unit combined! You can't take down more than one of them each! And how do you fight an opponent who is flying in the air!
I'll take the flying one down. The rest is just to be careful with the breathers, everyone else. The Order's shields have heat-resistant barriers, so we can handle it.
You know, like...

　In the meantime, we've taken a number of safety measures. We're going to bring in Ruri, Amber and the others, and we're going to be there to support them. To be honest, I don't think we'll get beaten that easily.
　And I think this is an opportunity. We're a newly established country, but if it gets out that the Knights of the Order have defeated more than a hundred dragons there, then a stupid country like Euron won't be able to mess with us so easily in the future.

''Well, well, if you have the frame gear, you can at least defeat a dragon, right? Then.........
I'm not showing you my frame gear.
What?

　This time, we will show an uppity dragon the true power of humanity. It's our way of showing the power of humans, who they look down upon as inferior creatures. It's just that their goal is to have a complete vendetta against us.
　And while it would be easy to win with frame gear, that's not exactly training for a live, group fight. With frame gear, they're invincible! And I don't want you to mistake borrowed power for your own.

''And, and this is the most important thing...''
?
The dragon's materials are worth money.
..........

　That's right. Dragons are sold for a very high price from skin to bone. A single one is a fortune, and yet there are more than 100 of them. It's a great opportunity for you to make a lot of money.

''The money will help us in many ways.
..........
You will also receive a bonus.
Let's do it!
""Oh!"

　Oh, it's so easy.





I see them. He'll be here in about three minutes.

　When Ruri told me to extend my vision with "Long Sense", I did indeed see a group of dragons heading our way. We are waiting for the attacking dragons on the plains south of Brunhild's castle town. This is where the town will not be harmed.

It sounds like you're whining.
"Kill them all! And "Burn it down! I'm sure you're not the only one. And then there's the "gah hahahahaha" and vulgar laughter. It's hard to believe that they are my family. Or does that magic tool have some effect of bringing about madness...

　Unfortunately, I don't understand dragon language, so Ruri translated it for me. You heard me well. But you're saying that? Apparently, there's no need to refrain from doing so.
　Then let them crawl on the ground without any questions.

"Cut through the storm, wind blade of millions, tempest edge.

　The ancient magic of the wind attribute obtained in the Library was launched at the dragons.
　Suddenly, all the dragons were caught up in the storm that arose, and their wings were torn to shreds by the wind blades.

''Gaaaaaah!''
'Ggawgawgawgawgawgawg!'

　The dragons fall one by one with various screams. I could do more damage if I was serious, but I would only tear off their wings and rob them of their ability to fly.
　When all the dragons are knocked down to the ground, Red Ball, who has returned to his giant bird form, rains a huge rain of flaming bullets on the dragons from the air.

''Brünnhild Knights, all of you assault──!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...!

　Penetrating the gap, at the command of the leader, Rain-san, our knights, with their crystal swords and shields at the ready, charge towards the dragons all at once.
　In response, the dragons, who are still on the ground, turn their heads towards it and spit out flaming breaths of fire. However, their power was halved by the curtain of water that suddenly appeared.

''It's a pity. I won't let you do it so easily.
"We've always been better at defending ourselves.

　I left the anti-breath measures to Black and Coral. Riding on its shell, which had returned to its original great turtle and serpent, everyone in the Order had just slashed at it when I looked towards the dragons.
　As a result, the amber that changed into a large tiger ran out to the flying dragon and unleashed a shockwave with a roar. The flying dragon was hit by this and was blown backwards with great force.

It's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on it. You can't leave it up to the amber to do the job.
I need your support.
I'm aware of that, sir.

　Ruri, who spread her wings, roared towards the heavens, and when the dragons heard it, their movements froze for a moment with a jolt. It's like he shouted something. I don't understand the dragon language. As expected, even with the translation magic "translation" magic, I don't know the language of the animals. I'm sure you'll be able to find a good deal more than you think.
　Ruri flies off and shoots flaming bullets at the dragons that were in the back. With that alone, several dragons were blown away.
　Hmmm, those guys are worth money, so I don't want them to blow up too much.
　Ruri didn't seem to see those guys as friends anymore either, so she didn't object to selling the dragons she killed. I thought she was quite dry, but maybe it's not a strange thing to do in the weak and strong nature.

''We need support magic too.''
Yes.

　Linse and Yumina, who were behind me, begin to chant wide area support magic. This is also one of the ancient magic that they found in the 'library'.

''Flame away, fireproof barrier, fire resist.''
"Give me the wind, blessed is the tailwind.

　Everyone in the Order is enveloped in two phosphorescent lights, red and green. It's an auxiliary magic that gives them resistance to fire and an auxiliary magic that increases their speed.

''Great Shield Corps forward! Assault team, then follow me!
"Oh!

　While deploying their defensive barriers, ten men with shields lined up in a row beside each other to catch the dragon's bracelets. Then the knights with long crystal spears from between their shields joined together and plunged into the dragon, easily piercing its body.

''Gaaaaaaaah!

　A spear that pierced its own scales, which were supposed to be harder than steel, without difficulty. The dragon seemed surprised and confused by it, but it was fatal.

''Haaaaah!

　Taking advantage of the rabbit-beast man's leaping power, Rain-san dove into the dragon from above the shield team's head. He thrust the crystal sword that he drew out in the air deep into the dragon's brain and immediately broke away from it with the sword intact.
　When he thought he twitched greatly two or three times, the dragon fell quietly as it was.

''Alright! Let's go next!
"Oh!

　It's quite a feat, even for our knights. It's partly because of the equipment and support magic, but even so, if we could defeat a dragon with less than ten men, we'd be a match for it. Moreover, it's against a dragon that's as strong as a high-ranking dragon with the 'Needle of Control'. It's not like the sword gods beat me up every day.

''Fuyao-kun, do you think I shouldn't go too?
So it wouldn't be much of a training ground for you, would it, Morobane?

　That sword god who is itching to fight is right beside me. In the first place, even if you want to fight, against a dragon, if you don't have a crystal sword or a very good karma, the blade will fall out immediately. Well, if you're Morobane sister, you'd probably fight in your own way even if you gave her a namakura.

But there's always the possibility of an eventuality. I think it's better for me to be there to deal with a situation like that.
Hmm..... It's basically support for everyone, right? You can't be a warrior, okay?
I know, I know. I know, I know, and that's why I need a sword!

　He took out a crystal greatsword from the 'storage' and handed it to Morobane sister. The next moment, she happily ran to the dragons and wielded the blade, cutting off the ankles of the dragons she encountered one by one. I told you not to be a warrior........ Well, there's no way we're going to lose now. In a sense, we have deployed our ultimate weapon, the Lethal Weapon.

"We can't go?
'No, because if I get to you guys, I'm really going to miss the Order.

　Else, Yae, Lou and Hilda puffed up. You can't make a face like that. Support is already too much with just Morobane sister.
　It's easy to get into a crowded battle when there are so many of them like this, but good job Red Ball keeps them in check, Coral and Kuroyuki prevent them, and Ember and Ruri lead everyone into a fightable situation.
　I was me, and I followed up the injuries of the wounded and fallen with recovery magic to some extent. The breath is held down by Coral and the others, so as long as I don't go too deep and take a big blow, I won't be killed instantly.

''Oh?''

　One of the flying dragons managed to fly away with its injured wings. But when it floated about 10 meters, it was knocked down by a flaming bullet of red ball. ''Nice.

''Uraaaaah!

　Then, Baba's old man let out a yell and his crystal great spear stabbed into the flying dragon's side of his head. The blow completely killed Fei Long.
　He was old enough to be old, and I wanted him to go to the rear. They don't listen to me. Beside him, there was an old man from the mountain prefecture who was swinging a large sword against another flying dragon and cutting off the dragon's leg.

''Ola-la-la! Come on, lizards!

　Maybe it's because it's been a long time since I've been in a fight, but the tension is rising. Baba's old man and Yamak Prefecture's old man don't want to ride the frame gear. They say they don't feel like fighting, but they seem to enjoy the struggle for life with flesh and blood. I think safety is the best thing. I don't know how the Ikusa people feel.

Phew!
Hey!

　Nicola-san's spear-axe 《Halberd》 roared and Norn-san's twin swords danced wildly. This time, I asked her to stop riding the summoned beasts, together with the leader, Rain-san.
　Partly because I wanted them to stand on the battlefield and assess the battle situation from that state, but also because it's hard to defend the breath with a shield while riding a gryphon or pegasus. It's fine for the person riding them, but the summoned beasts are defenseless.
　While saying something, most of the dragons have fallen and are no longer moving.
　The rest of the dragons seem to be talking about something, but as usual, I don't know what they're saying. I ask Black Day, which is wrapped around the coral underneath my feet.

''What's he saying? Huh?
"Hmm, that's a lot of verbal abuse. "You poor creature! or "You weak people who can't win without a herd! And. 'Which mouth is that?'

　I agree. You're the one who swarmed and attacked first.
　To that dragon that's screaming, Ruri douses that dragon with the biggest flame breaths and scorches it to black. Ahh, that's why he's not going to be able to sell it.

'Ruri seems to be quite angry too. That makes me want to cry that that thing is my family member.'

　On the other half, Ember blasts the dragons attacking the knights with a shockwave, blasting them with a shockwave and slashing their eyes with her claws, rendering them unable to fight without killing a single one. It's as if he's not even worth dealing with.

''It looks like it's about to end.
''These guys were really as powerful as the upper level dragons? Isn't that too weak?
''Maybe each one of them had a power similar to that. But the way they fight as a group is just not good. There is no coordination at all. They couldn't raise the level of intelligence. If there was one 'Elder Dragon' that was three years older than me, it would have been a different story.

　Dragons don't hunt in packs to begin with. I guess that's what was evident.
　Just as Black Day says, the victory or defeat has already been decided. Even the barely breathing dragons were being slaughtered by the knights one after another.
　Eventually, all the dragons stopped moving. Some of the damage here was minor. It is an overwhelming victory.

''Raise the battle cry──!
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

　A shout of victory echoed across the plains where several dragon corpses were exposed. Victory. It's a bit of a letdown, though.
　I suddenly realized that there were a lot of spectators behind me. Well, if they're making that much noise, they'll stand out. It seems that a lot of spectators had come from the town. From what I can see from here, I think there are a lot of adventurers.

''Heh, Your Majesty! What the hell is this...!

　With several guild staff in tow, Guildmaster Relisha-san appeared from the crowd of onlookers. For a moment, she looked frightened by the huge coral and black sun, but she realized that they were my summoned beasts and ran up to me, not caring about them.

''I got word that a group of dragons are heading this way, so I went to the castle to tell you, but His Majesty isn't there and the Knights aren't there...!
Oh, I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry about that. But it's all taken care of.
I'm sure...

　Relisha-san looked over the lying dragon corpse with a dumbfounded expression. I see, I wonder if I should have asked the adventurers to help me. Well, I'll ask them to pass on the saga of our knights at best.

''So, you see. Can you buy this from the guild?
This ... all of it? No, I don't have a problem buying them out, but I can't pay for all of them right now... I can pay for about ten of them right now, but...
Then I'll keep the rest of the money. We'll take the rest when we have the money.

　Put it in "storage" and it won't go bad and you'll be fine. Now we just need to roast some of the meat and hand it out in town. People say dragon meat is delicious. I'll give you some of their meat.
　I talk to everyone in the knight's group who are excited about their victory through the aerial projection of my phone.

I'm going to have to say thank you to everyone of the knights. I'm going to roast dragon meat for you later, so please eat a full meal and relieve your fatigue. Of course, we'll give you a bonus as well!
'Whoa! Yes!
Meat! Meat!
I'm hungry!
This will pay off our debt...
Hooray for Brunhild!

　Various cries echo through the battlefield. I'm glad to hear that you're happy.

I'll be going to eradicate the Dragon's Nest of Dragoness Island with my flame gear tomorrow, so I'll be looking forward to seeing you.
""What?"

　Surprised voices and wide-eyed eyes turned on me all at once.
