"What do you guys do? We're traveling merchants, do you need anything?"

The bearded man asked humbly from the driver's seat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The team aimed at the lower abdomen of the men.

Imperial soldiers were adept at using swords and guns, and their defensive skills were comparable to those of good boxers. As a result, the head and chest can immediately avoid aiming. But if you don't use your legs, you can't move your lower abdomen. Therefore, in comparison, the lower abdomen has less activity, and it is relatively easy to catch even between the electric light and flint.

"Why are you running away?"

The detachment leader kept a few steps apart and solemnly began to interrogate.

The bearded man seemed to be a representative of these people, and he shrugged his shoulders in reply.

"I don't know why! We just happened to pass by near the village and noticed smoke billowing from it. I wanted to see what was going on, and it turned out that the village had become like this. There must be no good fruit to eat if it has something to do with this kind of thing, so it's not normal to run away......"

The man muttered that in fact the village had been like this when they were involved in the incident.

It makes sense as a reason. But just let them go, and the job won't be able to be done.

After reporting the situation to the team leader, the team leader asked, "Can you let us see the luggage?"

"Ahh......h This"

"Is there anything unsightly?"

The merchants looked at each other and had no choice but to take down the carport from the loading platform.

There is a mountain of furniture, daily necessities, and precious metal products in the loading table. It is difficult to distinguish whether the handicrafts of this world are new or second-hand. The team leader said after glancing at the contents of the stage.

"It seems that these are all goods collected from nearby people. ”

The large box at the bottom of the stage caught the attention of the squad leader. No one touched it, but it seemed to be moving.

The detachment leader wanted to say, "Open this box and take a look." But before that, he was distracted by the bearded man's protesting words.

"Leave us alone, even then these are good things. ”

The man looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Well, maybe there's stolen goods in there. However, if you ask them one by one when they come from, you won't be able to buy or sell them at all. ”

"Where are you going to pull this?"

"You can go anywhere. Anything sells well during the war years......"

"The food, the furniture, the groceries, and the wine. And slaves by the way. That's right, slave girl. Do you want women? We have all kinds of people. There's sure to be something inside that matches your liking. ”

Whatever you want, we've got you covered. The bearded man said this, smiling lewdly.

"Merchants operating in this area should have a merchant license issued by the Orthodox government of the empire or a passage permit issued by the Fomar family. Please let me take a look. ”

Faced with the question of the detachment leader, the merchant said, "Well, yes, of course there is. He opened the bag next to the driver's seat.

"Where's that? It's something very important, and I'm sure I'm going to put it well. Don't find it at this time. Everyone, please wait, if you can't wait, you can do something else first......"

The detachment leader told him,

"It's okay, there's no rush. You can find it slowly. ”

The bearded man looked nervous and sighed, "You're so nice." The other men watched with bated breath.

"Ah, there you have it. That's it......"

The representative stepped forward and brought the things over. Allow you to come near me. ”

On the instructions of the detachment leader, the man representing the detachment handed over a folded piece of copy paper. When the team leader looked at it, the corners of the paper were stained with red and black stains.

"It's stained with blood. ”

"No, no. I recently scratched my hand, and that's why I got on it......"

The bearded man said this as he waved his hand.

"Grigel Banton?"

Grigory Ha Beyton. That's my name. ”

The bearded man had a look on his face that I wouldn't be in your suit.

"Right, it's true, right?"

Truly. This pass is indeed the real thing issued by the Formar family. However, the pass contains only the names of the merchants in the local language and Japanese, the goods they handle, and the names of the nobles whose status is equivalent to that of their patrons.

What the detachment leader is concerned about is the information collected at the time of issuance. If you can't read it, the barcode at the end of the document contains this information.

"This document is indeed true. ”

With that, the tension among the players has eased a lot. Because it means that the likelihood that these people are enemies is declining, and the likelihood of safety is rising.

After confirming the issue date of the pass, the detachment leader pointed the machine he was carrying at the barcode at the bottom of the document. Then, the face photograph of the man named Grigory Betton, who was registered at the time of the issuance of the document, was displayed on the LCD screen.

“…… Hmm~"

The team leader showed the team members next to him the footage and told them in Japanese, "These people are impostors." The picture shows an old man who doesn't look like a bearded man at all.

"What's wrong?"

As if sensing a sudden change in the atmosphere around the team, the bearded man asked if the documents were incomplete or because of the blood on them.

But those behind him couldn't stand the tension anymore. Together, they pulled out their hidden weapons and prepared to fight to the death with the SDF.

But this is not difficult for the players who have predicted the development of the situation and have already fully distanced themselves.

The man with the weapon was shot in the abdomen and crouched to the ground as if broken, and some were knocked down, and the bearded man who did not have time to draw his sword was pointed at a gun and was directly arrested.

"These must have been these guys who attacked the village. ”

One of the team members yelled at the dead man, pointing at their drawn weapon.

There was still blood on the sword that hadn't been wiped off. That's probably the blood of the villagers. And the hilt of the sword is also engraved with the coat of arms of the Imperial Army.

"Hey, wait a minute, what are you doing? Are you slaughtering people!?"

At this time, Furumurazaki rushed over with a photographer.

"Nope. These were the guerrillas of the Reich. ”

"Really, you're not trying to cover up our crime of massacring civilians, are you?"

Furumurazaki called out to the photographer who was photographing the victims.

"Hey, take a picture of my body. Be sure to take a good picture of your face. And remember not to take a picture of the Self-Defense Force flag or anything like that!"

Following Furumurasaki's instructions, the photographer began to photograph the Imperial soldiers posing as merchants.

The detachment leader realizes that this image may be in the news at night, so he explains the bloody sword and the coat of arms of the Imperial Army, and asks the bearded man, who has become a prisoner, to open the box and luggage of the loading platform.

All the boxes were opened, and all kinds of bottles and cans were thoroughly inspected, and nothing was missed. Later, the team found items stolen from the Pioneers, as well as clothes that looked like imitation camouflage uniforms, stained with green and dark green spots.

"......Shh Are these imperial soldiers actually robbing in such clothes? ”

The team members specially emphasized that Furumurasaki and the picture should record all this.

Although it doesn't look like the self-defense forces' camouflage uniforms at all, these things can be used to spread the image of the perpetrator as "men in speckled green clothes."

In the face of ironclad evidence, even Furumurazaki had to sigh.

"If you have proof, count yourself lucky!" Furumurazaki said hatefully, then facing the camera and saying, "It looks like a group of suspected Imperial soldiers attacked the village." But is there a need to kill them? The Self-Defense Forces have not considered arresting them and bringing them to justice, and we have to question their actions. Something like that.

"We are not police" complaints of some team members almost represent the voices of all team members.

The squad leader asked the bearded man to open the box that had previously been a concern.

Inside was a little girl. His body, covered in dirt and blood, curled up and trembling in horror. She appears to be of the feline race, with cat's eyes and pointed ears, brown body hair, sharp claws on her hands and feet, and a bamboo flute around her neck.

In order to reassure her, the team leader stroked her head and asked,

"What's your name?"

“…… Coussy"

The captain of the detachment looked back at the bearded man who was raising his hands high, and said exaggeratedly,

"Okay, where is your lair? Where are you active? Where is the main force? Don't worry, you will definitely be able to explain quickly, wash my ass and wait!"

It has been repeatedly stressed here that there is no need to recognize the human rights of those who use ordinary citizens as a shield to detonate bombs, wield knives and guns. But in a hygienic society, even such people are compelled to grant their prisoner of war rights.

The bearded man was also handed over to the family of Count Formar as a perpetrator according to the agreement.

However, whether it is lucky or unfortunate to be interrogated there can only be said that it is not understood if it is not the person concerned.

In the camera's eyepiece, the bearded man's expression spasmodic with fear is captured as a close-up.

"What? …… You said you found a herd of black demon dogs on the west side of the village!?"

Hearing the words of the team leader, the team members put on a nervous posture together.

“Heiyaoquan？”

Furumurasaki asked Tomita, who was following behind as a guard.

"Specially B pest, commonly known as 'black demon dog'. Although it looks like a dog, it is actually as big as a tiger. It seems like these guys are coming here in droves. Recently, the Sochar army has begun to use such creatures as weapons. ”

Tomita and Kurithayashi consolidated the guards on both sides of Furumurazaki and guarded the perimeter. Tozu and Higashi strengthened the defenses around the photographer and the person in charge of the voice holding the giant microphone according to the instructions of Nishina First Class Lu Cao.

"It's dangerous here, let's go up. Calling Chinook now will take us with you. ”

"Don't be stupid! if there are such dangerous animals, what is it if we don't take pictures of them?"

Furumurazaki said this, pointing to the team members facing west, and said forcefully, "Why don't you guys go there together!?

But that's not the case. The squadron leader of Squadron 403 decided to take down the hostile monsters that appeared here.

The special pest is indeed dangerous, but it is not something that can be manipulated from a distance. Therefore, because they were sent to this vicinity, the main force of the enemy must also be here. Although it is extremely dangerous, if you don't get into the tiger's den and defeat these monsters, you can cut down the roots of Solsha's guerrillas.

The captain of the first squad also stuffed the girls and prisoners in his arms to Kuribayashi, saying, "Help me watch," and then ran to the west.

"Hey, what do you tell me to do?"

"Feed her. You must have as much as you need to be there, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense! there's no milk if you don't have a baby in that place!"

Kuribayashi stood with the girl in his arms.

On the other hand, Tomita walked around to Furumurasaki, who was about to go out to the front line, and stopped him with open hands.

"Wait a minute, please wait a minute! Didn't I say no!"

Furumurazaki pointed at Tomita's chest with his index finger and shouted Don't get in the way,

"It is the duty of the Self-Defense Forces to provide maximum convenience for reporting!"

But Furumurasaki's roar was drowned out by the sound of tearing through the air. And on the west side of the village, the sound of explosions that shook the earth from the bottom up was constantly roaring.

Shelling of support began.

In the air, the Cobra helicopter continued to fire rockets and fired rockets, and the team members on the ground kept firing. Explosions rang out everywhere, and both Tomita and Furumurazaki tucked their necks in.

The limbs of the creeping beast were torn apart, and blood splattered. But the four-legged monsters that didn't know how to retreat rushed at them with their numbers.

"You want to shoot infectious scenes, and you can shoot them in the air!"

"Safe aerial photos and photos taken on the ground can't be compared at all! The opponent is just a few dogs, what are you afraid of?"

"Dogs are terrible! fast, low, dangerous. Plus they're in droves again!"

As a combat expert, Tomita uses what he has learned in his life to tell about the horrors of combat military dogs. He also told Furumurazaki that the black demon dog was even more terrifying.

If you are negligent, your life will be lost. The battle from now on will have to face enemies from all sides. Without such a safe area as the "rear", it is difficult to find a place where it will not be attacked by the enemy.

"And what about that kid? We're guards, so we have to follow you. If we keep going like this, we're going to get that kid into the fight!"

Tomita asks Furumurazaki what to do with the girl named Kusie that Kurithayashi is carrying. And Furumurazaki showed hesitation for the first time at this time.

Violent downdrafts whipped up the sand and dust.

Chinook called Tomita landed. The rear hatch opened as if to welcome Tomita.

"Oh no, here, I see!"

However, the photographer shouted against the eyepiece.

The photographer, who had been staring at the high-performance high-resolution camera, quickly grasped the enemy's situation.

"Oh, there's a giant ogre. There are also mammoth-like monsters mixed in there. It's like the Special Beast Fair. They're going straight here!"

In the legion of countless black demon dogs, there are even large ogres wearing thick armor.

They are armed with huge sticks like telephone poles. If you foolishly approach them, you will be overwhelmed by the strength of your wrists.

They were lined up in a row and cast into a wall of copper, like hoplites braving a hail of bullets and bullets, with more pressure than the chariots.

Since the position had not yet been constructed, the commander of the Self-Defense Forces decided not to intercept from the front, but to make a detour from the left and right, and to crush the enemy forces from both sides. After receiving this order, the team members went into action.

"Hurry, hurry! must take off before the next shelling begins!"

After receiving the prisoners, the aviation staff waved their guns and urged them to "hurry up".

"Well, it's enough to hand over the kid to the helicopter. We're going to have to keep taking material from the ground. ”

Hearing Furumurasaki's words, the photographer looked at him with uneasy eyes.

Fighting, moving, fighting, moving, and so on, and so on, with heavy cameras. Can you keep up? The photographer was worried.
