Miguel returned to the village for autumn break, but we rarely saw each other.

Collecting medicinal herbs, catching wood rats, practicing attribute magic, stick arts, deer hunting, and wild boars are also expected.

Today, I was going to go into the mountains south of the village to kill a deer or wild boar, but I changed my plan halfway through.

Four goblins chase after them from a five-meter high step.

Every year in the village of Azca, before the official winter arrives, we have a monster crusade.

In order to prevent monsters from coming to the village in the winter when there is a shortage of food, we will destroy them in the autumn along with their flocks.

After Mr. Zeor's negotiations, a small silver coin was awarded for each group of goblins found.

The rewards are cheap, but if you have the details of the goblins, then you have an advantage when crusading against the goblins.

The people involved in the crusade were ordinary people from the village, not adventurers.

"I don't want people to suffer serious injuries and possibly leave after-effects, as they did during the orc conquest."

If you follow them to the goblins' lair and look at the number of people coming and going, you can get some idea of the size of the goblin herd.

"Of course, if they knew about my existence, they would attack me, and I can't confirm the location of the nest."

I followed behind, hiding in the trees so as not to be detected.

On the way, the goblins spot a rabbit and start chasing it, but it escapes into a cave and is not caught.

The elves were about to enter the nest, and while they were busy digging the earth, the rabbit escaped through another hole.

The goblins, covered in mud, continued to dig, but perhaps found no rabbits, so they gave up halfway and began to look for other food.

"Ahh Gigia! ”

"Gugia! Gigi! ”

I don't know what he's talking about, but he seems to have broken up with his friends after releasing the rabbits.

I thought it was a two-on-two battle, but I didn't expect it to turn into a three-on-one battle, with the four of them fighting each other, barking loudly as they continued to move.

"What's that..."

In the direction of the goblin advance, I could see a huge creature hiding behind the bushes.

It resembles a wolf, but its bronze fur has a metallic sheen, and most importantly, its body is peculiar.

I can't be sure because I'm lying behind the bushes, but it looks bigger than a bull.

As for the direction of the wind, it wouldn't be surprising if you just noticed that the wind was blowing that way, but the goblins seemed to be busy splitting.

"I hid in the trunk of a tree and watched the elves move forward."

I feel that if we don't close the distance well, danger will come to us.

Even if the distance is reduced to thirty or twenty meters, the goblins will not notice, and the bronze creatures will not move.

Approaching fifteen meters, and after another ten meters, a goblin finally sensed something strange, stopped, and made a sharp sound.

"Gah!"

However, the other three may have felt the afterglow of the breakup, but they did not stop and continued to move forward.

"Quack, ahhhh

The goblin stopped and let out a louder warning sound, at which point all three heads turned their heads, not knowing what was happening.

"Ahhhh

A giant wolf jumped out from behind the bushes and tore apart a goblin with its claws.

"Gaguf"

The bronze wolf calmly stepped on the frightened goblins, watching the goblins that were the first to be spotted escape.

Her gaze turned to me standing behind the tree.

The hairs all over her body stood on end, and sweat came out.

If they attack me, I'll use the steps to escape into the air while trapped in the shield, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to escape.

The bronze wolf only looked at me for a few seconds, but it seemed like an eternity to me, and I forgot to breathe.

I let out a long sigh as I looked away.

The bronze wolf seemed to have lost interest in me and began to stuff the goblins it killed into its stomach.

As soon as he bit down, a third of the goblins disappeared, and the crunching sound of bones resounded in the forest.

At this rate, it shouldn't take long to eat the three goblins.

After stepping into the wolf's blind spot, I rushed to the village below.

"Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous, absolutely dangerous"

"I can't imagine how many people would suffer if such a monster came to the village."

There are also adults in the village who can crusade against goblins, but I can only imagine a future where even if you fight them with a spear, they will be killed in an instant.

"Anyway, I can't think of any other way to inform Mr. Zeor as soon as possible."

I also used my body-strengthening magic to keep running and rushed into the village chief's villa.

"Mr. Zeor, you're in trouble! It's dangerous, it's dangerous, it's dangerous! "

"What, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"It's dangerous.

"Calm down, Hua Wuming! I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"It turned out to be a bronze wolf."

"What! Where did you see the bronze wolf! ”

"Nanno, it's in the mountains in the southeast."

"Bronze with a mineral sheen."

"Yes, yes..."

"The Bronze Wolf is a particularly dangerous monster in the B-class."

Like adventurers, monsters also have rankings.

Goblins and kobolds are D, orcs are C, orc generals are B, and so on, but even if they are of the same B rank, there are differences in evaluation.

The orc general is B-class, close to C-level, and the bronze wolf is B-class, close to A-class.

"As you can see, the bronze wolf's fur is as hard as a mineral, and the blade is difficult to pass through. Slash attacks can only be dealt with by impact, and the only way to do so is to take it away. ”

"But those fangs and claws"

"Relative to its size, it moves fast and has a high attack power.

"What should we do?"

"I would advise the village chief to ask Viscount Raggett for help and send a crusade request to the Adventurers' Guild."

"I'll go with you"

When I went to the main house with Mr. Zeor, I saw the village chief and his son Julio, as well as Miguel, who was not necessarily present.

"Village chief, there is an emergency, Hua Wuming saw a bronze wolf in the mountains southeast of the village."

"Hua Wuming, are you sure?"

"Yes, I killed three goblins in an instant, and ate them in about three bites."

"Village Chief, let's go and ask the Viscount for help. Also, we should send a crusade request to the Adventurers' Guild. "

"Okay, go ahead and use it.

"The reward is at least three large gold coins."

"Do you really need that many big gold coins?"

"The flesh of the bronze wolf is hard and unsuitable for consumption, and the fur will fade and lose strength after death, so it is not very valuable. If someone wants to sell their name out of it, raise their hand. "But no one wants to do a job that would otherwise be dangerous."

"Well, I can't replace the safety of the villagers."

"Moreover, if the knights and soldiers of the viscount defeated them first, there was no need to pay them.

When requesting a crusade against ferocious monsters, they will often compete with the knights and soldiers of their realm, so if the knight defeats them, they will not be able to pay as much money as the success reward, but they will give a gratuity.

In Japanese, it refers to the necessary expenses such as transportation and accommodation.

"Village Chief, please write a letter to the knights stationed in the fortress of Bosles on the border and ask for support. Hua Wuming, I can't leave the village in this situation. Go to the fortress and come back with the knights who support you. Can you? "It?"

"yes, leave it to me."

"Alright, when the support arrives, come with me to Ibro and make a request to the guild."

On the spot, the village chief wrote a request for support to the fortress and a request to the guild.

"Then, Hua Wuming, I beg you."

"Yes, I'll leave the village early tomorrow morning."

Miguel looked like he wanted to say something, but perhaps because of the influence of his schooling, he seemed to have learned enough to interfere in the affairs of the village.

"I'll go home with the letter." We plan to leave early tomorrow morning.
