I had yet to understand the situation but, the assailants had been apprehended for now.
「《Heal》」
Pora went and used heal on Bennett and the one-eyed knight.
「Are you okay?」
Both Bennett and the one-eyed knight were beaten quite badly by our assailants.
Though their external wound had been healed with Pora’s magic, the sa couldn’t be said about their psychological burden.
「J-Just what kind of C-rank adventurer… Can kill high-rank spirit like that from the front.」
Bennett was looking at the fainted Dogma as he muttered so.
The one-eyed knight was still too exhausted to speak.
He was conscious, so there should be no problem with him but, the poisoned knife seems to take huge chunk of his stamina.
「But, properly speaking, we wouldn’t have any problem fighting them under normal situations. The only reason we get pushed back is that ambush. Though you guys are sowhat talented, you let your guard down way too much. Not to ntion that our top priority is protecting the item, not suppressing the enemies.」
「Haah, Yeayeahyeah…」
「What’s with that attitude?」
「Can you at least thank us properly for saving your life?」
Pora asked so to Bennett with a dumbfounded look on her face.
Bennett looked at the captured assailants and clicked his tongue.
「Tch, seeing this situation, it seems soone had leaked the information beforehand. 《Dogma of Fire Dragon》 is top brass of the thieves’ gang called Blood Cup after all.」
The knights seem to be tasked to deliver so sort of item to Manarak’s adventurer guild.
And their assailants seem to be a group called 《Blood Cup》.
… But, the fact that they’re attacked right before their arrival at the adventurer guild ans that the assailants were looking down on the knights.
In fact, they would’ve been annihilated if we didn’t save their as*ses.
「But, we sohow managed to repel them. On the other hand, being able to apprehend 《Dogma of Fire Dragon》 is a huge achievent in itself. This is a blessing in disguise. Now we’ve to regroup with Noel imdiately.」
Noel might be the na of that purple-haired knight.
So they’re going to make the apprehension of Dogma as their achievent.
… I didn’t want to butt in but, soone who got beaten so badly by Dogma actually had the gall to say such shaless things.
「Uhm, don’t you think that this situation is rather strange, Kanata-san? We’re so close to the adventurer guild, yet no one cos due to that commotion.」
The mont Pora spoke so with an anxious look on her face, the wall of the 2nd floor of the adventurer guild was crumbling down.
The windowpane broke open, there was clearly a fierce battle ongoing inside.
「This place isn’t the only one that got raided by them!」
In addition, the scream resounded from another direction.
So it wasn’t just the adventurer guild.
The 《Blood Cup》 was launching an all-out attack simultaneously in the entire Manarak.
I guess we underestimated their planning capabilities.
But then, I was confused.
If their goal was truly to take the item delivered by the knights, they didn’t have to launch such a large-scale attack in Manarak.
I an, their preparation was way too good.
This was clearly a carefully planned tactic.
… Did they aiming sothing other than the item brought by the knight?
「L-Lies…? 《Blood Cup》’s mbers should’ve scattered all over the kingdom. This scale of attack… Are they by chance gathered all their mber in Manarak? If that’s the case, we’ve to fight a few others 《Dogma of Fire Dragon》’s class enemies. No… Is that ans we’ve to defeat their boss, 《Bosgin of Giant Arm》 too?」
Bennett spoke with a dumbfounded voice.
Though this was the first ti I heard about them, the organization called 《Blood Cup》 seems to be a huge pain in the a*ss for the kingdom.
At this rate, they might end up making a ss of Manarak.
「… Pora-san, let’s split up into two teams. Take Philia-chan with you to repel the assailants and heal the injured people.」
Since the other party was launching a large-scale attack, we could only suppress the damage by splitting our manpower.
Though I was anxious since Pora’s levelling had yet to resu, the current here should be considered as one of the strongest war potentials in Manarak.
「R-Right away!」
Pora nodded.
Kotone was in the adventurer guild too.
Though I was worried about her safety, Kotone was an S-rank adventurer.
I had to go around the other places too.
But, Bennett suddenly caught my leg the mont I was about to run.
「W-WAIT, C-RANK ADVENTURER!」
But, it was too late, I had already kicked the ground.
As a result, Bennett was dragged along with across the ground.
「OBH! OBHU!」
「M-My apologies, no bad feeling okay, it’s your fault for suddenly seizing my leg after all.」
I stopped and turned around to face Bennett, and raised him up.
「… I’m worried about the safety of my comrade who take the magic pouch, Noel. P-Please, cooperate with in looking for her.」
I pushed him away since Bennett’s face was too close to mine.
And yet, Bennet clung to my leg again imdiately.
「WAITWAITWAIT! SHOULD I BOW MY HEAD!? I’M A KNIGHT YOU KNOW, IT’LL BE A GREAT HONOR FOR YOU!」
「… I have no reason to save you guys, I will go to subjugate 《Blood Cup》.」
「T-They’s an extrely dangerous criminal organization you know, and sothing really bad gonna happen!」
「Sothing… really bad?」
Bennett squinted his eyes, he was serious.
「Yeah, the promotion of the chivalric order in which I belong to is at stake. I will be abandoned by my parent and disinherited by them even though I’m the oldest son.」
What kind of joke was this guy talking about?
I tried to leave that place for real this ti and yet, Bennett hugged my waist.
「M-M-MY APOLOGIES! PLEASE-PLEASE COOPERATE WITH US! SOTHING REALLY BAD GONNA HAPPEN IF THE 《RED AUTHORITY CANE》 IS MISUSED!」
I stopped for a mont upon hearing that.
Sure enough, the item that the knights are transporting had been weighing on my mind since a while ago, and I definitely wanted to know more about it too.
I also had no idea about the details of the assailants.
「… I understand. I shall escort you till you regrouped with Noel-san.」
「T-Till regrouped with Noel-san? What are you going to do after that!? Please reconsider your choice since you might accidentally run into 《Bosgin of Giant Arm》!」
Why was this person’s condescending attitude and servile attitude so striking?
「Leave it to when that happens.」
「Great, at least there’s so compromise! Sorry for dragging you into this kind of situation.」
I heaved a sigh, wondering just how long I had to stick with Bennett.
If possible, I wanted him to tell only the necessary information.
