The first prince's faction moves.
　The subject ran through the imperial capital in no time.
　the speed at which rumors spread completely differently from when the Second Prince's faction moved
　There were quite a few people who felt it was artificial, but the majority of the inhabitants of the imperial capital focused more on what would happen to the fighting between the punitive and rebel forces.
　That's only natural. If the punitive force continues to lose, the next battle is likely to be closer to the imperial capital, and if the civil war does not subside, the imperial capital may even become a battlefield.
　It is also already well known that the rebel positions are about two days away from the imperial capital -- the time it takes to move normally, and the movement of troops takes more.
　That being the case, some of the inhabitants of the imperial capital are escaping as if they don't want to be involved in civil war.
　It is the same for those who came to see the competition and watched the imperial capital, and many people lined up in front of the main gate every day to get out of the imperial capital as soon as possible.
　Of those who have escaped from the imperial capital like that, naturally there are some Theorems.
　Both the first and second prince factions are wary of such people, but unlike Mercurio, who gathered only rebels and temporarily established positions, there are countless people in the imperial capital. 　
　They couldn't have managed all of them, and as a result, the rebels had the advantage in terms of intelligence warfare.
　Those who escape from the imperial capital then head straight to the rebel camp.
　However, there are naturally some on the expeditionary force that is scouting the rebel positions, so they should not be found.
　Even the rebels consider it dangerous to enter their positions and exclude them, but if they are reconnaissance from a distance that is sufficient to escape when pursued by the rebels, they will not touch them.
　No, is it true that reconnaissance from that distance does little harm, so it's leaving it alone?
　Of course, many insurgents insist on capturing or killing everyone, including those conducting such reconnaissance.
　But while it is difficult to get into the rebels without professional training, an ordinary soldier can be seen from afar.
　In other words, no matter how much you capture or kill them, there is no end to it.
　In other words, there is a possibility that the supplies consumed for this purpose will increase.
　It was a situation that the rebel army would have to avoid because the supply was not so abundant compared to the punitive force.
　The result is basically nothing special when you're scouting from afar.
　The basic reason here is that when you're fighting off monsters and bandits near rebel positions, you can attack them while you're nearby.
　Alternatively, soldiers who see things or things that should not be found are similarly killed.

"Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

　Yes, like this.
　Soldiers who must have been hiding themselves in the forest scream and lose their lives screaming when they realize something is flying towards them.
　The only body left behind was the one whose head had been shattered and whose neck had become a piece of flesh.
　Around them, brain pulp, bones, flesh, blood, body fluids, and so on, stuck to trees or scattered on the ground, smelling of strong blood.

"Good job, Captain Ray. I will deal with this corpse appropriately after I have examined the information which I can examine."
"Oh, please,"

　Ray nods back to the words of the person he is working with, picking up the death size that was on the ground from the posture of throwing a spear.
　Those who were recognized by the insurgents as having endured training with Ray and Sett, and Theorem was planning to assemble an elite force of the soldiers.
　It's Ray, nominally, who leads it' It is effectively led by a soldier named Pernicus, who has just spoken to Ray, who has been dispatched from Theoreum's forces.
　The reason for the formation of such a force originally came from the growing number of rebels, and it was said that no matter how much Ray was treated as a shortstop, it was impossible to show that he was a single force.
　As a result, Ray, who insisted that it would be all right if he were alone, and Teoreum, who thought it would be convenient if there was a unit to follow Ray in the event of an emergency, ended up breaking down.
　Nevertheless, Teoreme, who wants Ray to refrain from lying here, suggests that Ray and his troops act separately in the end, and that Ray should take charge of the unit when necessary, and Ray accepts it.
　As long as he worked with Ray, he was given a total of 30 elite troops in addition to Perenicus, because his soldiers were expected to be able to demonstrate their abilities.

"Well, I don't think you'll find me or them from outside, but I wonder if they'll come all the way into the woods." Bad luck."

　Ray muttering as he gazed at the body being carried away.
　The soldiers around him stare in awe at Ray.
　It was Ray's main means of long-range attack, the throwing of spears, but it was never used in competitions or even after joining the rebels.
　That is to say, those here saw the throwing of Ray's spear, which many adventurers in Gilm know for the first time.

"Grull".

　Ray caresses his head with a smile as Seto, next to him, turns his eyes to him with a purring voice.
　There is no such thing as guilt in the expression that has just taken a person's life.
　This was not because Ray himself was cruel, but simply because he saw the other person as his enemy.

"Well, I'll continue my training," If you are going to work with me and Sett, I hope you will know about my abilities."

　When Ray says so, the soldiers have conflicting feelings of mild remorse and expectation.
　It is already known that this unit is an elite unit, and if it survives this civil war, it will undoubtedly be counted as one of the heroes.
　...yes, if we can survive.
　As long as this force is elite, it is certain that it will be deployed to tough places in the battlefield.
　Already, the rebel forces have less military power than the punitive forces, so they cannot afford to let their troops play.
　That's why we're supposed to train Ray. soldiers, knights, adventurers in order for us to survive without those barriers

"Me and Seto. Well, we're pretty strong in our own right now."

　The words unite the minds of the soldiers who heard them, 'That's not the point!'
　No one actually mentioned it.
　If they had said it, some might have judged that the training ahead would be tougher.
　The accuracy of judgment around this point is that they are called up by elite troops.
　...but if they had heard it, they would not have been pleased at all.
　You can't say no when you're called into this force, you're well paid, you're on the way to success, but it's all if you can survive.
　In a literal sense, high risk and high return are not pleasing to the soldiers who actually belong there.

"And as long as you act with us at times, it is only natural that you should have some strength." Oh, of course, I know you're one of the most elite rebels, but it's also true that you're still somewhat unsatisfied. ...more specifically, I would like to have the fighting power of a Rank C adventurer."

　The voice provokes a stir among those listening to Ray.
　That's probably the case. Rank C adventurers rank high among veterans. It's not as strong as rank B, which is called first-class, but it's still quite strong as ordinary soldiers.
　Surely there will be some buzz because they want all the soldiers here to be able to do so.

"Be quiet! We haven't finished talking about Captain Ray yet! Let's not talk about him after that!"

　a hushed murmur at the cry of Pearnicus
　Watching 30 of his men like that, Ray opens his mouth again.

"Anyway, that's why. We're going to conduct combat training now. As for the content, each of you will be scattered in this forest, and after about 10 minutes I will follow you. If you give me a blow with this weapon, I'll disqualify him, and if you give me a blow, I'll give him some reward."

　Rey tells him so and takes a mock dagger out of the mistrings.
　When the soldiers see it, they let out a sigh of relief.
　Speaking of Ray, he was famous for his death size, which was taller than his height.
　At least none of them wanted to fight Ray with such a huge sickle in his hand.
　Some people thought it would be difficult to use in the forest if it was the size of a death, but there was a rumor that crimson would be cut without even wearing metal armor, and even those who participated in the Spring War were actually watching the scene.



　None of these suicide candidates would want to fight such a serious, death-sized Ray.
　Only those who can recognize a crisis as a crisis and have the wit and ability to survive it are here.
　Not very much, but I didn't want to fight Ray, who had a death size.

"Oh, and don't worry," I'm the only one chasing you today. Also, you can only run away in the forest, and those who go out of the forest will be disqualified and given more rigorous training, so be careful."
『……』

　When Ray says a word, the soldiers break down in spitefully.I've been trained by Ray several times.
　The skill of wearing magical powers that can be visualized from the body, developing the armor of the hegemonic king and enduring Ray with even half physical pressure. Also, one day, you will be confronted with the murderous and ferocious appearance of Seto, a Rank A monster.
　We didn't specifically train people to fight mock battles.
　But still... that's all I've done over and over again, with even a few who can stand up after the exercise.
　It would be impossible for soldiers to be motivated if they were told it would be a tougher exercise and if they were to be rewarded.
　But Ray speaks mercilessly to such soldiers.

"Well, I'll start to move ten minutes from now. ...go on!"

　With the words, the thirty soldiers fall in unison into the forest.
　Even so, it is said that they are elite that they do not carelessly make footsteps or make a sound of shaking plants.
　...though they may not be very happy to have been assigned to Ray's forces because they were so strong that they were called elite.
　About ten minutes later, Ray also begins to act, seeing the soldiers off into the forest.
　Seto silently saw her back off a short distance away and lay down on the spot.
　If you close your eyes, you will be able to understand the surrounding area through the keen sense of hearing and smell of Seto and the sense of magic.
　Sett is not trying to help Ray, but to check if there are any punitive forces around him, as was the case with the soldiers on.
　Despite this set, Ray was running through the woods.
　As long as there are plants and branches, and above all, we must not kill soldiers, so we do not use the armour of the hegemonic king.
　They just stick in with their bare physical abilities, and eventually find the first one hiding in the bush.

"What!"

　a soldier who involuntarily cries out in astonishment at Ray, who is running straight into him.
　But regardless of it, Ray lightly wields a mock dagger at the soldier.

"Just wait outside the forest."

　Rey tells the attacking soldier that she is going through the forest again to find another.
　When the soldier sees it, he breathes out and goes out of the forest.
　After about twenty minutes... the training is over when the last one comes out of the woods.

"Well, well done for the first time. I was pretty good at getting lost in nature. Just...

　Tell them so, and just as they are about to say something, they notice a cavalry marching towards them.
　When the cavalry arrives near Ray, they quickly dismount their horses and bow, speaking quickly.

"Ray, come back to the camp as soon as possible! A new expeditionary force has been sent!"
