Of the members hiding behind the rocks, the mages started chanting so they could launch a preemptive attack.

Similarly, the archers took poisoned arrows out of their quivers, nocked it and raised the bow, aiming at the incoming carriage.

When the target’s carriage approached the line of rocks, Forbach gave the signal, the mages fired their spells, and the archers let loose their arrows.

If the Dragon Horse is killed, Earl Sechnal and Earl Vautarc would kick up a fuss about a breach of contract, so the spells were focus fired on the front of the carriage.

A magic explosion blasted the front of the carriage. A rain of arrows laced with paralysis poison poured down. They chose this as a measure to prevent Tsubaki and the girls from dying.

Forbach thought that even if Sophia and the girls die from being hit in a bad spot, that was just an inevitability. Forbach’s objective was to settle a personal revenge, rather than for the guild.

The road in front of the carriage was destroyed by the magic attacks, and we jumped out from the carriage as Tsubaki stopped abruptly.

The downpour of arrows and magic was repelled by our barrier.

I detached the carriage from Tsubaki and stored it in the Item Box.

From the shadows of rocks on either side of the road, men holding weapons of all sorts shuffled to surround the front.

「Takumi-sama, the guys at the front are」

「Yeah, it’s so familiar I hate it.」

From the men that surrounded us, Sophia spoke of the bizarre presence we felt in the people in front which we recognize so well it was despicable.

The assassin who attacked me in Volton. After that, the inhuman men that could feel no pain or fear that were mixed in with the monsters during the invasion in the Sanctuary. It was the immortal soldiers.

「This is connected to the Divine Empire of Sydnia.」

「It’s the accomplice of Triaria Kingdom and the Divine Empire of Sydnia, no, their business partner was the 『Moonlight Owl』.」

The assassin who attacked me was something similar to the immortal soldiers, and I thought that the Moonlight Owl was related to Triaria Kingdom and the Divine Empire of Sydnia, but now the answer to whether it was the Divine Empire of Sydnia who was the core of the research or if it was the Moonlight Owl was trivial.

At that moment, the roar of a monster echoed alongside the magic explosions.

『GUOOOOーーーー!!』

What appeared was a never before seen Black Ogre.

Its size was no different to the superior species of ogres. It had a huge sword in its hand was not strange as normal ogres were intelligent enough to use and swing clubs.

I felt uncomfortable. That was because I sensed intelligence from the eyes of that ogre. I believe that it wasn’t indiscriminately attacking the people around it was because of the slavery collar on its neck. However, past its strong hatred and deep anger, I could definitely sense intelligence.

「Sophia! Maria! Let’s go!」

「「Yes!」」

「Akane, you’re on support!」

「Leave it to me!」

I called Sophia and Maria to the front to deal attack the immortal Soldiers and also the Black Ogre.

I was in the middle with my ice spear, Ice Bringer. To my left holding the wind spear Tempest was Sophia who was protecting my blind spot. And to my right carrying the flame spear Explode was the red headed Maria.

The three magic spears tore through the enemies guts.

Akane and Laeva fired spells at our enemies to back us up.

Tsubaki made a wide right turn to avoid the rain of arrows and magic, and she user her horn like a lance charge.

I checked the left side and saw a gigantic adamantite alloy body jumped out from the subspace and used its Magic Jet Propeller to accelerate explosively.

The attackers were bewildered. If it had gone to plan, the next step of their strategy was to attack from the back. If that happened, Akane and Laeva who were at the back would have been in danger, but we have a very reliable little sister.

Just as we had started our counterattack, the men hiding in the trees who were supposed to attack us from the back had a different fight, ……well, more like got a beat down.

Forbach didn’t know. That ever since I was attacked in Volton, I have been in countless fights. Earl Hordia, Earl Sechnal, and Earl Vautarc didn’t know. That we have experience in fighting in the Demon Continent and in the Forest of Death.

They’ll realize it soon. To deal with us now, dark guilds and mercenaries weren’t enough.
