Eventually, Liv got drunk.

　She is herself a woman of weakness for alcohol, though she immediately asks for a drink.


　I put her to bed in the back of the room and told Ichitaro to get up and take his food and drink to the sink.


"Well, I guess we'd better get going,

Yeah.


　When Cross and I leave The Blacksmith's Shop of Lantis, the night in Hafenfeld is over and the snow has stopped.


　We walked past the dense district of shops and out onto the main street.

''Well then, you guys. Good luck with your upcoming Demon King level quest.

　When I said that, Cross looked a bit sorry.

'Aiga ....... I really wish I could have gone with you.

....... You know, those things.

'Sorry ....... Then we'll play again.

Yeah.

　And thus we parted with a smile.

......

　When I looked back once and saw his back, I was relieved that I didn't get jealous and sincerely wished for 'their defeat of the Demon King' to go well.



　◇



Aigha. Is your headache over, that it is?

　The next day, Gitaro Bando asked him about it.

　Gitaro Bando asked him the next day as he was pulling the Kuroo Maru toward the wasteland of Corzo.

"Hmm? ...... Oh. It's all good. Thanks for yesterday.

　To tell you the truth, my head hurts a bit, but this is probably a mild hangover.

'More importantly, you've had a boss outbreak since then, haven't you?

Ha! A saber-toothed tiger, that it is.

　That's right.

　That's right, saber tigers.

　When I heard the boss had occurred, I thought, 'I'm sorry, this isn't the time to leave early,' but since there are few adventurers around here who can defeat saber tigers, well, I guess I didn't panic.

　The Saber Tiger's battle strength was at least 52,000.

　It was stronger than a Green Dragon with a combat power of 47,000.

　It was a completely advanced monster, and it also had certain horrible characteristics.


　To be honest, this thing was still a monster that was too much for my lords to handle.

　On top of that, it's a class that I couldn't win even if I fought it alone.

　Previous bosses, whether it was the Great Ape or Dark Krampus, were at a level where I could easily defeat them in a pinch, so in a sense it was an 'insurance' adventure.

　But that's not the case this time.



　Therefore, as soon as I arrived in the wasteland of Corzo, I ordered an 'operation'.

'That's why we're going to act as the entire 150 of us today.

　Zachary, Zachary: ......

　The territorial residents were in a stir.

　It was the first time we'd ever had a real battle with all 150 men in one unit for the entire day, although we'd done this often in training.


''This Corzo wasteland has a clear line of sight. That's why I don't think it's as difficult to find the boss as it is in Le Monde's forest. But it's the opposite of 'You never know when you're going to run into a boss'.

My lord. I heard that saber tigers are very powerful.

　One of the men in the unit asks him.

He said, "He's strong. That's why we have 150 men in a formation so that we can surround him whenever he appears.

　Fortunately, this corzo wasteland is terrain with plenty of room for its march.

　The crispy soil is spread out over a wide area, with only a few patches of dead trees and short grasses.

　Well, the normal monsters in the B-class quest area are intermediate, but the bosses are going to be advanced, so I had selected from the beginning '...... a place that would be advantageous to fight in large numbers first.

''Sir!''

　That's when Kyoko 《Kyoko》 raises her hand with a bleep.

''What's wrong?''

What's that float that looks like a soup stock?

　I'm sure you'll find a wooden structure with a ladder and a small space above it," he pointed out.

　The apricot is said to be a float used in rituals in the Far East, though it's not that flashy and its construction is quite simple. ......

　This is a mobile yagura that I had Mr. Gonkichi Yamamoto make for me.

　There are four buildings in all.

''The archers take aim at the enemy from an angle from above.

Did we?

Yeah. It's a demon ore [arrowhead]. But you can only use this against saber tigers.

　In this way, the anti-saber tigers' "warpath" is passed on to the archers, the magicians, and the vanguard team.

　The role of the support system is especially important.

The vanguard, other than the martial artist Chiyo, will use this.

　When I said that, Isomura's widow, Eriko, responded with a jerk.

　That's right.

　It is a spear.

　It is also quite a long spear.

　I asked Garcia to prepare it for the number of people.

''Just have them use their usual and familiar weapons against normal monsters,''

　And for today, I wanted to take out the normal monsters as much as possible with the physical attacks of the vanguard.

　This is because I want to save my magic power and items until the boss fight.

Can I take down Lion Cat and Toxodon with just ...... vanguard?

　Yup.

　Even though it's a normal monster, the Lion Cat has 25,000 combat power and the Toxodon has 22,000 combat power.

''It's all right. The vanguard already has a combat strength of nearly 6,000-8,000. And if ...... the lion cat or any other enemy that's a little tougher, I'll take them out today.

Eh ......

My lord?

　Is it because I'm more active in battle than ever before?

　The lords are groaning.


　Yes, this was a climax.

　This was a critical point.

　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it, but I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it, and I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get the most out of it.


　I stepped over to the Kuro-Ohmaru and said, "I'm going to straddle it.

Come on, let's go! Saber Tiger's a tough guy, but when we beat him, people will be surprised!

　Heen!

　As their horses rise and fall, the villagers rise and fall. ...... and stood up with enthusiasm.
