*Clip! Clip!* *Clip! Clop!* *Clip! Clop!*
The sound of horses galloping sounded as the rcenaries advance deep into the forest.
(Lucky I got my own horse, even if he's a little bit off) (Lyan)
All of the rcenaries use a steed in the operation as a part of the plan. Unlike advancing by foot, advancing by horse will give much more noise in the forest, letting them achieve their goal of making the goblins wary of their march. Not to ntion marching by horse made them advance faster as well.
Since the number of the rcenaries in the elite team is small, it makes them advancing with horses easier. Most of the rcenaries already have their own steed, while those who didn't have any steed got given a horse by the guild as part of the paynt of the quest. That's the reason why Lyan is currently riding a horse that he just received from the guild.
(The Valkyries has only 3 mbers, The Crimson Talon has 16 mbers, the Golden Thrill has 19 mbers, while the Brave Rings has 15 mbers, and together with , there are 10 cloaked people, it's all 63 people. Considering how I subjugated a goblin lair with only 6 people not long ago, this might be easy. I guess there won't be much for to do today, huh...) (Lyan)
The direction they are heading is the north, it's the location of the nearest goblin lair spotted by the guild, and the most perfect place to eliminate the goblins and make them wary.
(But it's a rather bold plan. In usual tactics, you would like to catch the enemy off-guarded when you're attacking. But this ti, we're trying to make them wary and let them have their guard up to the roof. The guildmaster's eyes don't seem to be showing that he's underestimating the goblins, so I guess he must be quite the kind-hearted man, huh...) (Lyan)
(The city wouldn't be able to protect all of the villages around it, and considering how rchants are the ones running the city, it's very possible that they would only want to protect the city and their firms inside it. So to prevent more damage to the surrounding villages, they decided to make the goblins gather in their main base instead. Not bad) (Lyan)
Suddenly, a horse get near to Lyan's position, and a voice entered his ears.
"You, are you the rookie the people are talking about?" A clear voice sounded. The sound sohow sound dignified, making Lyan wary.
"Considering that most of the rcenaries here have been registered to the guild for a long ti, I guess I am the only rookie amongst the team," Lyan replied with a small shrug.
"Fufu! Well, you're not wrong. Looks like you really are as interesting as the guildmaster said, I'm looking forward to your achievents," said the man as he distance his horse from Lyan's horse.
(What is that guy's deal...?) (Lyan)
*Clip! Clip!* *Clip! Clop!* *Clip! Clop!*
Lyan enjoy the sound of the horses galloping, before suddenly a loud voice appeared inside his mind.
(FUCK!! How the hell do I keep on landing at your fucking hotel!?!? Did you use so kind of magic, Hestia!?!?) (Griselda)
(Fufufu! All of you are weak at business, that's all. In business, you need strategy, charm, and luck! Cower down below my feet, you poor people! Hahahahaha!!) (Hestia)
(Bitch) (Eira)
(Huh? What did you just say, young girl?) (Hestia)
(Sorry. It's just a slip of tongue, old lady) (Eira)
(Looks like soone is salty because she's losing from , huh~) (Hestia)
(Hey! Stop it, both of you! If you unleash your mana wildly here, you'll destroy everything!! We've made a deal that the one who breaks any things inside the house will be judged by everyone, right!?) (Lilith)
(Ugh...) (Hestia & Eira)
Lyan heard the commotion inside the grimoire's space as he let out a sigh.
(What are you guys playing?) (Lyan)
(Monopoly! But Hestia has been dominating the ga for several gas now, so we're thinking of playing other gas already) (Hestia)
(Monopoly, huh... That's not a factor of luck. If you predict the appropriate force when you roll the dice, you might have a bigger chance to get the number you wanted. In the first period of the ga is the most important phase, you need to buy-) (Lyan)
(Okay stop! We're continuing!) (Hestia)
Hestia prevents Lyan from giving the tricks to the other spirits.
(Hey! Let him continue his words! Arturia! Say sothing!) (Griselda)
(Eh? I don't really mind either way, though) (Arturia)
(Ugh... Please, just shut up...) (Lyan)
Lyan desperately wants to cut the connection between his mind and the grimoire's space, but if he cut the connection or mutes their sound, the television inside the grimoire's space's house will get turned off as well, making the spirits couldn't see and hear whatever he's feeling. Since it will incur the wrath of the spirits if he does so, he didn't have any choice but to comply with their wishes and bear with their noise.
(If I have their favorability towards decrease even more, I'll end up fighting them and get killed at the ti they got released from the contract. I need to bear with it...) (Lyan)
Along the way, they encountered so goblin groups, so of them have more than 40 goblins inside their group. But they quickly got dealt with either by the front row's swords or by their steeds' hooves.
"Stop!!" The one leading the group gives the sign to stop.
"From this point onward, we're going on foot. According to the guild's scouts, there might be traps prepared by the goblins, so it will dangerous for the horses if we continue advancing. Get down your horses and tie them up to the trees!"
The one leading the elite team is the leader of the Brave Rings Mythril-ranked rcenary party. Since he is considered as the longest veteran of the guild, he knew about the forest and possess the most experience among everyone present. Knowing so, no one objected about him being the leader of the team.
(By foot, huh...) (Lyan)
(Argh! I lost again!!) (Griselda)
(Oh, please shut up) (Lyan)
All of them get off their horses and tie them up to the trees. Just like the others, Lyan also took his horse's lead and was about to tie it to the tree. At the first look, his horse looks like a high-quality horse. Black body and black mane, muscular body, and vigorous eyes.
But there is a reason why the guild gave the horse to Lyan.
*Bite!*
The black horse attempted to bite his hand off right at the mont he was about to pull his lead, but Lyan swiftly draw back his hand.
"What are you being so hostile for for, huh? I'm just going to tie you up, not cutting your at to eat you," (Lyan)
This ti, Lyan skillfully took his lead and tie him up at a near tree. The horse neighs furiously for his defeat, and Lyan stared at him with a triumphant expression. The thought of threatening the damned horse with the sword he obtained from the guild crossed his mind before, but it turns out that there is no need to do so.
"Looks like the handso horse finally got an owner, huh," A woman's voice sounded from Lyan's back.
Lyan turns around, and saw a woman with long greyish brown hair staring at him. Her eyes look sharp, and the small friendly smile on her face makes her look composed.
"Forced to get an owner, actually," Lyan retorted.
"Heh! You're right. It might not be the best place to introduce ourselves, but I'm Surena Ekaitza, my rcenary na is Gale Saber, nice to et you," she extended her hand, asking for a handshake.
(I see... She's one of the Valkyries...) (Lyan)
Lyan rembers about the Valkyries clearly because his girls in the House of Roses are big fans of them, especially Alina.
'Not only they are beautiful, but they are also very strong that the other rcenaries n didn't dare to make any move on them, you know!? Not to ntion that they are an elite rcenary party that consist of only three mbers! We register as rcenaries with them as our goal! We coincidentally have the sa type of party, after all! A party of three girls!'
Alina's cheerful face when she explained about the Valkyries flashed through Lyan's mind.
"Lyan, my rc na is Evocatore. My pleasure," Lyan accepted the handshake.
"Hm... Interesting," (Surena)
Surena seems to use the chance to size him up from a close distance, but Lyan does the sa thing as well.
(She's an all-rounder, huh... A bow, A sword, and a halberd. Different from Belle and the others, she felt like a real rcenary...) (Lyan)
Her aura seems to be oozing a considerable amount of bloodlust, making Lyan sure that she had killed a considerable amount of n.
"Rena! What are you doing? They'll leave us behind you know?" Another mber of the Valkyries called her from behind her.
"Looks like I've been called. Let's talk again later, rookie," (Surena)
