What looked to have been spit out by the Miasma Forest were the few survivors of the first wave of attacks.

The dragonoids' abilities are extremely high compared to humans, elves and beastmen. It should be possible to say the same about their ability to sense presences, but apparently no one noticed the approach of the military forces until they were visible by the naked eye.

Even so, the city closest to the Miasma Forest had adopted a policy of always being prepared for emergencies. The counterattack was swift, but being put into an disadvantageous position due to the scale of the enemy troops, which went beyond their assumptions, and because of the staggeringly high number of casualties in the first battle, the dragonoids wanted to retreated. However, they had already been surrounded. The dragonoids somehow managed to break through the siege but they still had to pay a heavy toll.

The information regarding an attack by a monster army was spread to the other cities, but the monsters advanced at an abnormally high speed. The dragonoids were forced into battle without having been able to prepare interception tactics or coordinate between the cities.

Falling into the dilemma of being crushed one-by-one, close to half of their territory was easily occupied by the monsters.

(Emedra)

Even though there are evil dragons? (Renya)

Renya unhappily responds to Emedra who said so as if it was her turn anyway.

(Emedra)

Ah, I see. Then I will change the topic. (Renya)

Renya looks up at Emedra's face and asks,

Why were you flying around here? (Renya)

(Emedra)

Monsters vs. dragonoids, and evil dragons vs. dragons, both battles at the same place, huh? Then it's a free-for-all-fight, I guess. (Renya)

Renya doesn't want to head in the direction of an overly chaotic battlefield.

That's because battlefields, where many different sides are fighting each other, always tend to have something unexpected occur.

That would be his sentiment if it were just himself, but in the present situation of his comrades accompanying him, that won't work.

I wonder what we should do? (Renya)

What we should do, ya askwe don't really have the option of not goin', do we? (Lepard)

Lepard's eyes, who said so, are sparkling with anticipation for some reason.

No matter how you look at it, a part of his battle mania, his bad habit, is peeking through on his face.

I'm not all that eager, but as that's the only lead we have, turning our back on it is no option, isn't it? (Shion)

Those are Shion's words, who looked sullen.

Next to her Rona nods, obviously assenting.

Next to Rona, Kurz, who held the fox-eared priestesses in his arms on both sides, calmly slept with a happy face, apparently having lost out to his drowsiness again, despite looking awake for a while.

If us elves can lend our help in some way, since we honor the dragons quite a bit (Croire)

Once Croire said so, it was similar to the opinion being approved of by the majority.

In that case I suppose we will try going to the front line city. (Renya)

(Emedra)

Due to the sudden offer by Emedra, the elves looked surprised and the human team dumbfounded. The beastmen don't even try to hide their joyful looks.

While thinking, The thoughts are indeed different for each race, Renya asks Emedra,

Is that fine? To carry us so readily. (Renya)

(Emedra)

Closing one eye really skillfully, Emedra winked at Renya.
