69. Gaps
Under the cause of serving mankind, the lord has given me a lot of support. There are too many things that are too precious to be used only by cadets.

Magic tools for escaping in case of emergency, magic tools to hide, emergency food for a month with just one bite… .
It looked like they were going to an all-out war, not guerrilla reconnaissance.
“Then, please.”
“Yeah, what… Don’t expect too much.”
“hahaha! Humility.”
He seemed convinced that with my skills, he would be able to infiltrate the stronghold of demons and inflict devastating damage to them.
It wasn’t terribly wrong. But the problem was that I wanted the demons to be so docile… … .
Anyway, I picked up my backpack full of various things and headed for the forest.
* * *
The forest occupied by the demons naturally becomes the most familiar environment for the demons, and thus the forest is full of dark magic.
After passing the eerie trees that seemed to be polluted just by touching them, I went inside to some extent and looked around and carefully summoned a summoned beast.
“Anna.”
“-Yes, Master.”
Seeing and listening to all the situations in the pattern, she immediately hugged me without asking any questions as soon as she came out.
It was a very embarrassing situation to be hugged by a woman – I didn’t care and curled up in her arms as much as I could.
As she leaned against a hard iron plate that did not feel feminine at all, Anna, holding me, lightly rolled her feet.
“Then I will go.”
Whoops-! The surrounding space changes in an instant. The air rushes by, and the landscape changes in an instant.
The superhuman physical ability of a three-star summoned beast did not decrease in speed even when holding a single male.
In an instant, she slammed the floor and climbed the tree, kicking it forward like a monkey or a ninja.
─Quick.
─Squeeze!
And after a while, monsters in the form of monkeys popped out from among the leaves.
After finding the monster, Anna lightly threw me upwards.
“uh?”
Whether I was embarrassed or not, Anna ran away, drew her sword and cut off two monkeys, and caught me again while I was flying.
I took a deep breath to calm my pounding heart, and Anna looked at me with a burst of laughter.
“Are you okay? master.”
“… Will you tell me next time and throw it away?”
“I’ll try my best.”
To be honest, the feeling of flying in the sky against gravity, even for a moment, was not very good.
As I flew in the sky myself, I couldn’t quite understand the thrills of paragliding and bungee jumping.
What the hell is good about this… All the popliteal glands are low-lying.
“master.”
“yes?”
“Im here.”
Before long, Anna arrived at the place marked on the map. I listened to her and opened my half-closed eyes to avoid the wind.
Indeed, as Count Islan said, demons and demons were living in huts.
‘… Did the demons originally have this habit?’
Shortly after having such a question, I summoned Empress from the tree.
As soon as the great witch appeared, she saw the demon base and ordered a magic chant.
“Summoner, can we just get rid of them all?”
“Be careful not to burn the forest.”
“it’s okay. Because wood stained with magic does not burn well!”
Perhaps she understood me, as she said that, and as soon as she slammed her hand down, a thunderbolt fell from the dry sky.
Quarreung-!
A lightning bolt that seemed to burn everything burned down the demon base, and the trees nearby were turned to ashes without ever igniting a fire.
end with this Without any resistance, without any plausible response, they destroyed the base of the demons.
‘… … So easily?’
Anxiety creeps in. Something was strange.
Aren’t demons such easy bastards?
As I thought about it and looked around, a sharp poison sting flew in from afar.
Puff-!
“Master, be careful.”
“uh?”
It was only after Anna struck the stinger with my veil that I realized it was a stinger.
The demon who had sent me a poison sting appeared with his tongue out as if it was a pity.
“Kurre- you’re blocking that, bubbly.”
A giant spider demon wearing the upper body of an old grandfather.
“That’s why I should have said I was doing it from the beginning.”
An insect human with a giant sickle resembling a praying mantis on both arms.
And with those two demons at the forefront, countless low-level demons and demons followed.
Seeing that, I realized that I had fallen into a trap.
* * *
The advanced demon in the shape of a spider looked around and opened its mouth.
“By the way, you baited like that on purpose, but only one came?”
The spider demon looked at Ian as if it were a pity. How much effort did you put in to dig this trap, but only one person caught on?
“If you look at the fact that you sent such a strong guy, it doesn’t look like you sent it knowingly… … Were you expecting to annihilate this place by yourself?”
“However, no matter how anchored the humans are… .”
Ian confirmed the opponent’s power without saying anything. Two high-ranking demons with power comparable to that of a 4-star summoned beast.
And countless demons and low-level demons who follow him.
Originally, they were low-level beings that could be slaughtered casually, but if the number of them increased, it would be a different story.
“Anna, protect your master.”
“I know, you’re good at that.”
Theresia, who suddenly jumped out, drew her sword and glared at the demons. The most important thing here was Ian.
Whether the summons had bottomless stamina or steel-like mental powers, when the summoner died, it was the same thing.
Ian knew that too well, so he quickly hid behind Anna’s shield.
And- there was no way the demons would not know what the summons knew.
“Catch it.”
The high-ranking demon pointed to Ian. Then, dozens of demonic demons crouching behind him ran out at the same time.
“Bounce!”
Theresia shouted so, and activated the ability contained in her armor.
area declaration.
the final battlefield.
“Wow—if I had my wand, I could wipe these out in one shot, but… Well, I can’t hope for something that doesn’t exist.”
Empress said so and slammed the temporary wand into the ground. Then, magical energy spread out from the tip of the staff, freezing them all.
“Can’t we just say ‘Ice Age-’?”
Watching the two of them fight, Anna quickly left the forest with Ian.
No matter how far he ran, Ian frowned as he looked at the monsters that were still chasing him. Can you escape from here? No, can I run away?
One thing is for sure, the monsters here are the ones who must eventually be killed.
“You can’t just run away forever.”
Saying that, he took an object out of his pocket. The magic tool that Earl Islan gave me and told me to use it in case of an emergency.
The object in the form of a pistol with an unnecessarily large caliber was the one used to fire the flare.
Ian quickly put a green flare and shot it up into the sky. A signal shot was fired high in the sky, and blue flames burst into the sky.
“Anna.”
“… … master?”
“stop. You have to wait here.”
“No, what… … It’s dangerous if you don’t run away.”
“know.”
However, since the signal was fired here, other summoners would also come here. What if only you get out? The summoners who came here will be attacked by that monster.
In that case, it would have been better for me to stay here.
Ian said while pulling Anna’s veil.
“Write that, that.”
“I mean, what… .”
“You know what, praying to God or anything else.”
“It doesn’t seem very efficient in this kind of situation.”
Still, it was better than doing nothing, so Anna prayed to God and made a tiny space to protect Ian.
As if entering a barrier, Ian sank into the sacred space and sat down in the same place.
Now there’s nothing you can do What if the barrier is broken and Anna can’t protect herself? just die what
So the summoner was helpless in front of the monster. The monster was powerless to the summoned beast, but… .
“For now, I will do as much as I can.”
Saying so, Anna threw the veil at Ian. The insignia imbued with divinity as a ceremonial badge had its own defense power.
You won’t die from a blind attack-.
Thinking like that, she pushed her shield towards the monster.
“come.”
You damn demons.
* * *
Seeing the signal shot by Ian, the count frowned and looked at the place.
‘That’s… … .’
I didn’t really intend to go to save the flare that he gave Ian, just by shooting it.
In fact, when Ian, the 4 star pet, was in danger, there was nothing that would be of any help just because everyone here went.
There was only one reason why he passed the flare to Ian.
“Everyone, prepare for the attack from now on.”
“Yes? what is that… … .”
“Actually, we sent a separate reconnaissance team… Those fireworks are a signal from the scouts.”
“Then the scout… … Isn’t that dangerous?”
“It is a necessary sacrifice.”
However, passersby heard it and listened. This was especially the case with Noah.
“… … Count?”
“Yes, you tell me.”
“Maybe that scout… Are you Ian?”
“… … I will not reveal the identity of the scouts.”
The Count had said so, but Noah knew very well that Ian had not been seen before.
Refusing to say no is, in a way, the same as implicitly saying that it is true.
“Ian.”
Ian is dangerous
Noah recognized the fact and immediately summoned the summons.
woohoo… … !
The colossus appeared, and the Count, who had been looking at her something, looked up at her in bewilderment.
“What- Come down now!”
“Ian is dangerous… You can’t just watch.”
sorry-!
Noah raised his voice and ran straight into the forest.
