There is a very important concept in the study of human behavior called the feedback mechanism, simply put, if you spend a while on something, you will expect to get some reward, whether it is a material reward or a psychological sense of achievement.

On the other hand, if you don't get a reward for doing something for a long time, just like some athletes, then the so-called 'enthusiasm' and 'faith' will eventually be unable to match this kind of consumption.

Because there is no feedback, they will gradually feel that their actions (i.e., working hard every day to prepare for competitions) are meaningless, so they will start to be deterred and even give up the whole sport.

Whether it is an excellent athlete or an athlete with little talent, people who want to succeed will always put in a lot of effort, and the situation of no reward is indeed the first obstacle.

Hiiragi's actions are also quite comical to outsiders, the reason is, of course, that the development of the plot and the actions of the characters will not make the plan perfect and successful as Hiiragi thinks.

"Even so...... If you want to try to succeed here, you can't do it without hard work......"

Everything will not be in one step, and giving up here is tantamount to denying everything before, so Hiiragi will not be so stupid.

There is a strategy method in any situation, and for this reason, Hiiragi has not completely given up resisting the so-called world revision.

"Seleuc, remember to preserve your strength before you encounter the enemy."

"Yes, yes! But...... That ......"

"What's wrong?"

Estes, who was on his horse, asked rhetorically, and Seleuc asked the question in his mind to get an answer.

"Recently, the captain has always taken care of me, and this time the team also asked me to be with you, is there anything I haven't done well enough?"

"Because I've received reports that your mindset is a little worrying, I'm going to try to get you to act with me."

Hearing this answer, Seleuc suddenly became puzzled, and seemed to list a few people who reported him in his mind, but in the end there was still no real answer.

Hiiragi also listened to the conversation between the two of them, and at this time, Lan on the side suddenly spoke.

"You don't look like you're fighting for the first time, you don't have any nervousness, and you don't look scared."

"Well, the village has been attacked by robbers a few times before, so I fought robbers with my father, and ......"

"And?"

"And I'm often with General Estes, and I can't be nervous about what I encounter, but this battle has calmed me down."

Hearing this, Lan couldn't help but smile, and that expression made it a little difficult to guess what he was thinking.

In the plot, Lan is a thoughtful character.

As a teacher, he joined the 'hunters' in order to change the status quo of the empire and avenge the students because of the tragic slaughter of his students by thieves, and in the face of the government that had concealed the news in order to protect the reputation of law and order.

As I said before, everyone here has an absolutely unshakable faith.

But those beliefs, at the moment of collision with each other, one side will always be shattered because of this......

Hiiragi also wants to save everyone and let them carry out their beliefs, but that path is unrealistic for now, and it is a complete joke.

"Don't talk about this, the current situation is getting more and more invented......"

"I think so, we haven't encountered any obstacles since just now, and if the enemy is ready to ambush and attack us, we don't need to wait until now."

"Yes, they're far from town at the moment, and there's no place around them to hide."

After Ran answered Hiiragi's words, he rode after Estes, who was taking the lead

"Do you want to scout from the air with my imperial tools?"

"You can't fly as long as my pet, can you? Forget it until you encounter the enemy. ”

Pets, referring to dangerous species such as dragons, Hiiragi is also thinking in the back.

He looked at the scenery behind him, the horizon had long been cut by the high slope, and it had been more than ten minutes since he left Romarie Street and left the city.

There is no doubt that on the side of the black pupil, there is a death match between the emperor's envoys.

Estes swept his gaze ahead, and not far away was a well-viewed gravel plain, and to the left was a small grove.

"Maybe it's fake here, and the real strength is all on the side of the black pupils."

"The ......"

Hiiragi also raised his hand and pointed ahead

"That's an enemy."

The crowd stopped, and instead of the members of the NightRaid, they were in the way, but a group of men in similar attire and with a vicious appearance.

Judging from the situation, there is no intention of letting this side pass at all, but they are all ready to fight.

Hiiragi prayed for their blessings as he jumped off his horse and looked at the enemy in front of him.

Ahead, Estes frowned.

"Sure enough, it's the same as intelligence, and there are a few troops here!"

"Ahaha! It's General Estes, and she's a great beauty just like the rumors! ”

"Don't go one by one, or beat them by virtue of the numerical advantage."

The thieves did not realize what kind of power their enemies had, and they were simply a model of death.

Ignoring the thieves, Estes Observer everyone in the crowd of thieves.

Then, with a sigh

"It's a group of thieves scattered in the eastern part of the empire, and it doesn't look like they met by chance."

"Did you work with the thieves?"

Ran thought about it, and he realized that there were no NightRaid people inside.

"Ravage them well, leave two or three alive, I still have something to ask."

Obviously, Estes has fallen into a trap.

So, what's next?

Hearing an explosion in front of him, Hiiragi also walked over to Estes.

"I'd like to head south and gather as much information as I can, is that okay? General Estes? ”

"You? Alone? I think it's safer to stay with me. ”

"I'm not going to run away."

Hiiragi also looked at Estes and continued

"I think I'm strong enough and ...... right now"

Estes interrupted Hiiragi at this moment

"Good realization, go ahead, we'll get over when we're done here, and besides, you don't have a third chance to escape from me and get forgiven."

"I, I get ......"

In other words, if you run away again, you will be punished, right?

Hiiragi also has a rebellious personality, but he will try to avoid death.

So, Hiiragi also set off.

Faced with the trap of NightRaid and the situation at this moment, Hiiragi also thought of a way to collect the Imperial Tools.
