the bodies of Wyvern and the Dragon Knights that fell to the ground
　Of course, since Wyburn was mostly killed, many of the Dragon Knights were still alive when they fell to the ground.
　But if man could live from a height of 100 meters above the ground, it would be a miracle.
　And before Ray and Sett there was such a miracle.

`But, uh... uh...

　However, even if Weiburn had been cushioned to prolong his life by falling from that height, he would have died instantly.

"I'll make you comfortable."

　muttering, a flash of death size The Dragon Knight's head flies in the sky.

"Is this the end of the Dragon Knight?" Hey, Set. What do you think they've been doing this for?"

　Ray picks up weapons such as spears and long swords from the Dragon Knights, which were not broken or bent in particular when they fell from the sky, and asks Mistilling while collecting them.
　But Seto bends his head as if he didn't understand.

"Well, I don't know. Why throw away the Dragon Knight? It's definitely a very effective force if used effectively, and it must cost a lot of money to develop it. Normally, I would never do such a thing as throw it away like this..."
"Grull".

　Instead of worrying about it now, Ray nods back to Seto, who purports to recover weapons from Wyvern and the Dragon Knights.

"Well, I don't know what they're thinking, but they've reduced their strength. If so, should I ride there? though, as a result of the air warfare, it was so hard to collect the bodies."

　As long as it's a battle while flying through the air, the battlefield is naturally large.
　Weiburn's corpses, scattered within a few kilometers, are housed in a mistrings, and only the corpses of the Dragon Knights are collected in one place.
　In the meantime, he was probably sent by the Fritzione army. Knights of the White Rose Knights, led by Widale, appear.

"Are you safe, Mr. Ray?"
"Oh, there is no damage on my side-by-side. I was attacked by the Dragon Knight there. I've already put the Wyvern in an item box. -- what effect do you have on your part?"

　Watching Widale slow down, surprised by the word Dragon Knight, Ray replies carelessly.

"The Dragon Knight... Oh, no. His Highness Fritzione is not particularly harmed. Have you seen the red wolf smoke...?"
"Oh, it's been a while since I passed."

　Widale breathes a small sigh at Ray's words.

"No, the smoke went up just after he passed by... but for a while I felt it because he was riding on the set."
"Given the speed of Seto," And who used the smoke?"
"Unfortunately, as soon as he was ready for the smoke, he left. It was undoubtedly a signal to launch this attack on the Dragon Knights. In that case, there is no doubt that he was in the hands of either the first prince's faction or the second prince's faction.'

　Given the current situation, it would be safe to rule out the possibility of a third party. Ray nods the same way to Widere, who tells him so.

"It's only natural, given the current circumstances, to be suspicious of you. ...but what on earth do you think he did it for?"

　Returning his words to Widale, Ray's gaze turns to the body of the Dragon Knight, which lies a little further away.
　It is only natural that the armor fell to the ground from an altitude of about 100 meters, but the armor is too cringe to be used.
　Monster leather armour may still have been useful, but if you were asked if you wanted to use something that fell with Weiburn and had blood, meat, internal organs and brain pulp stuck together, you would say no.
　It would have been a different story if it had been Ray's recaptured swords, spears, and bows.
　He who seems to have died with a broken neck, must have been lucky in appearance.
　Widale nods in agreement with Ray, looking at the bodies of the five Dragon Knights.

"A Dragon Knight is certainly a very powerful breed of soldier. The mere firing of fireballs from above the air beyond the reach of the attack poses a considerable threat. What does it mean to have five such Dragon Knights on Ray and Sett?"
"Captain Widale, didn't you think that if you had five Dragon Knights together, you would beat Ray and Sett? In fact, as you two say, five Dragon Knights are such a strong force."

　A female knight of the White Rose Knights says so, but Widale immediately shakes her head and dismisses her opinion.

"Don't you know what happened in the Spring War? Lord Ray and Sett are the only two men who have ever had as many as twenty Dragon Knights... one by one, but they have a track record of annihilation." I don't think it was Prince Kabazid or Prince Schulz's idea that the Dragon Knights should defeat Ray and Sett by five."
"But this is what they do, isn't it?"

　Widale can't interrupt his subordinates any more.
　In fact, with all the bodies of the Dragon Knights in stock, there is no doubt that the attack was carried out with some intention.
　It can be seen from the fact that it was not a random act, but a deliberate act.

"It's creepy to think of it. I have no idea what they are thinking."

　In the neighborhood where Widale and Rey and their men were racking their brains, it was a surreal sight to see several of Widale's men soothing by feeding Seth with dried meat.
　But Widale himself could no longer stand the sight. cast a keen eye on one's subordinates playing with Seto

"Pick!"

　a woman knight who shrieks involuntarily at the sensation of something chilling down her spine.
　Ray opens his mouth as he watches it.

"Anyway, I don't know what they're up to, but it's true that they've reduced their fighting power. Oh, by the way, I don't mind getting Wyvern's corpse in the item box here, do I?"
"Well, there will be no problem with that. for Ray and Sett have all fallen down."
"So what about these Dragon Knights? They need to be burned as long as they're dead." Do you want me to do it? I'm good at using flames."
"I'm sorry, but I'll leave it to you." I need to inform Prince Fritzione of this matter, and I shall go back first."
"What!? Captain Widale, are you going back?"

　In Widale's words, the female knight, who had been playing with Seto in spite of the previous chill, says so.

"That's what I mean, but is there any problem?"

　In the form of asking, Widale's gaze is already close to command.
　The female knight must have figured it out.
　He manages to hold back what he wants to say he stays here to help Ray, and nods quickly.

"No, there's nothing wrong with it. I think it is necessary to report the matter to His Highness Fritzione and to Angela at once."
"I'm glad you understood. Then I'll be there at once. ...Ray, I asked you to clean up here.""Oh, I'll be back there as soon as I get rid of it."
"... if you think of Sett's speed, I think he'll get there first."

　Saying so with a wry smile, Widale leads his men on horseback and quickly leaves.
　After seeing him off, Ray immediately takes the death size out of Mistilling and turns to the body of the Dragon Knight.

'Fire, burn up those who die from my magic. Cleanse yourself with all your heart and fire. resentment, bitterness, envy, hatred All of it has no meaning before my magic. Flames burn away even vengeance. Take my magic and go back to heaven.'

　With the incantation, a blue flame is produced on the death-size stone-butt.
　The flame is of such a color that makes you feel at ease just by looking at it.

"The Flame of Funeral"

　With magic, the blue flame engulfs and burns the body itself.
　a funeral by such a powerful flame that prevents it from going undead
　However, since this magic also contains some elements of sacred magic, it cannot be used for lay.
　...it was Ray's enormous magic that made it possible.
　The magic is forcing the technique to work.
　For example, it's as inefficient as attacking the enemy with drops of water instead of penetrating the enemy's body with ice.
　an inefficient magic that can only be done with Ray's magic powers

"Ah... whoa,"

　If Ray, who doesn't feel tired from magic, says he's exhausted, it's easy to see how much he's wasting his magical powers.

"Grull?"

　Ray caresses his head saying it's all right, with a worried voice asking if he's all right.
　The dry air peculiar to autumn felt cool on Ray, who was lightly sweating.
　Lay to put down your hood and enjoy the cool autumn breeze.
　Dragon robes have the function of a simple air conditioner, and it was pleasant to be exposed to the wind directly like this.

"... now," This matter has been settled. Well, it might have been too early to talk about it if we had burned it up in flames, but those who had even become Dragon Knights were abandoned. That's all right, isn't it?"

　Whisper and look around.
　It certainly means something now that he has acted like a dragon knight in vain.
　With that in mind, Ray looked around him, but there was nothing in particular.

"And not against me, but against the Fritziones... or the rebels?"

　I somehow understand it after thinking that much.
　Perhaps the latter is the right answer.
　There's no particular reason. It's close to my intuition.
　If I dare to give you a reason, the Fritzione army now has... Ray.
　I was confident enough to do most things with myself, even if I had done something.

(That being the case, if anything were to be set up, it would certainly be against the rebels. ...but they don't have unlimited military power over there, either. There must have been a considerable number of troops lost in the past battles. With that in mind, it's certain that a general attack on the rebels before we join is not such a simple thing like that. Then...)

　I can't think of anything in Ray's mind.

"What do you think?"
"Glu?"

　a set with a tilt of one's head

"Well, don't you know what they're thinking, even if you ask Seto? and we're done with disposing of the bodies, and we'll join them."
"Grull".

　Seto turns his back immediately to Ray.
　For Seto, there is a strong feeling that joining the Fritzione army will give him food.
　Knowing this, Ray straddles Sett's back without saying anything and takes the dried meat out of the misty ring and gives it to Sett.
　Putting the dried meat in front of his face into his mouth, Seto flaps his wings after a few steps of running and runs up in the air.

"Well, whatever they were thinking, it is true that the precious strength of the Dragon Knight has diminished. It must have been a big profit for us."

　Ray's mouth leaks a few muttering words that sound familiar to him.
　covered and sursed It was creepy for Ray that he could not read any of his intentions, either way.

"If you come face-to-face, we'll have a way of doing it."

　As you say, Ray thinks he can defeat most of his opponents if they get in front of him.
　However, it was very troubling in this case that the enemy was running away from him instead of facing him.
　Shake your head again and again, and decide that you are here to defeat the enemy standing in front of you, and that the entanglement will be handled by Mercurio, Teoreme, Tiyur, and Vihela, not by yourself.

"My duty now is to protect myself. That being the case, all you have to do is defeat the enemy standing in front of you without worrying about anything unnecessary. ...right?"
"Grull".

　At last Ray is relieved by the sound of Seto's voice, and eventually the Fritzione army appears on the ground.

"... now that you mention it, don't you feel like you've passed the Widarees?"
"Glu".

　Is Seto's new cry of consent?
　The speed at which a horse runs and the speed at which a set flies, the latter is naturally, the latter is faster.
　That's why I should have overtaken him long ago, but I never saw him flying near the Fritzione army.

"Did you come back before us? No, it's impossible for a horse to do that." So what's happened to you... until you ask Fritzione or Angela. Let's get down to earth, shall we?"
"Grull!"

　Whispering, Seto glides down to earth, spreading out his wings.
