Going to Another World on Your Own! ～a Story That Begins With a Not-so-sweet Upbringing - CH 242

It is not surprising, or perhaps it should be, that most of the prisoners of the assassination guild were non-combatants, men, women, and children, and only a few were seriously wounded and unconscious.

Many of them committed suicide when they were captured.

The subjugation team suffered a lot of damage, and of course, some of the B-ranked adventurer teams and the territorial soldiers were almost wiped out.

This was because the enemy was using lethal poisons and paralysis, which can be fatal even without deep wounds.

Tauro was able to heal his teammates by using potions and magic to restore them to health, and some of them barely survived, but there were still some who were too late and could not be healed in time.

“…I’m sorry, but this person has already passed away.”

Tauro’s abnormality recovery magic and potions did all they could but he pronounced the casualty dead.

“Damn it…! This guy didn’t make it, but our healer was saved. Thank you. They were going after the rear guard first. It’s my fault that I, the vanguard, couldn’t stop them…”

The enemy’s strategy seemed to be to target first the rear-guard adventurers, who could heal from abnormal conditions.

Adventurers usually fight monsters.

Although they also usually fight bandits and brigands, but they had a hard time dealing with the assassins, who have a special way of fighting.

However, these were first-rate adventurers, and once they became familiar with the enemy’s fighting style, they were able to gain an advantage and win the battle.

All the casualties were gathered in the central building of the base.

The captives are also pushed into the underground prison, just in case.

As soon as the wounded were settled, the A-rank band team “Golden Mane” called the captains of the territorial troops and the leaders of each team.

Tauro was not among them, but the leader of the Dansas branch’s B-rank band adventurer team “White Night” and the leader of “Zekei” invited Tauro.

These two teams were deployed to the west, but they were wary of the black haze from the beginning, so they weren’t caught up this time.

yet they had witnessed its power.

Although they had been very careful in their battle with the enemy, trusting Tauro’s information, the black haze was actually used in front of them and its range of instant death spells spread faster than they had expected.

In such a situation, it was immediately clear that the “Black Golden Wings” had set up a ward to minimize the damage.

They were horrified to think that if it hadn’t been for that, they might have gotten caught in the middle of it as well.

That is why the two teams thought they should let Tauro and the other members of “Black Golden Wings” tell of their achievements in battle.

“…Mmm. Why is the leader of the E-rank team here?”

The leader of the A-rank team, Raiga, had a sullen expression on his face.

“Because Tauro’s information was correct. And thanks to the team’s wards, we on the west side were able to minimize the damage. Also, Tauro and his team, the “ Black Golden Wings,” had done a good job of holding the treasury as planned and preventing the enemy from using their large-scale instant-death spells. There is no reason not to call them here.”

The leader of “White night ” defended Tauro.

Next to him, the leader of “Zekei” also nodded.

“But in fact, only that E-rank team really knows if such a large-scale spell was about to be used, don’t you think?”

Raiga still didn’t seem to believe it.

Then the leader of “white night” took out a magic stone and a curse stone from his bag with magic compartment and put them on the desk in front of Raiga and his team.

“This is what the sorcerer we witnessed had, and used during the range instant death spell. And…Tauro, show them.”

The leader of “White Night” urged Tauro to produce the magic stone he had retrieved.

“…This is the magic stone that the enemy tried to use.”

Tauro took a large magic stone that had been specially processed from his magic storage and put it in front of Raiga’s eyes.

“Raiga-san, you can see this in comparison. The magic stone over here killed three of the soldiers on the west side and the two vanguards of the B-team “Hungry Wolf” who were working together were killed instantly. If you add up the enemies, there were more than ten of them. And that was with the damage minimized by the “black golden wings” warding. If they had used such a dangerous spell method based on such a big magic stone, everyone might have been taken out by the enemy, no? But Tauro and his “Black Golden wings” prevented that from happening. Isn’t that enough? They saved our lives.”

“Damn!”

There was a moment when Raiga, not wanting to admit he was wrong, thought about retorting, but then he realized that he had been wrong.

“Raiga…. The leader of “white night” is right. We must learn a lesson from this. The assassins’ guild has its own technology that we are not familiar with. It was our mistake to underestimate them, and the death toll is high.”

Eikoku interjected into the conversation, perhaps because he thought he would lose credibility if he let Raiga speak out of turn.

“And this, too, I’ve got it, so please check it.”

Tauro understood this, so he decided to talk about something else before getting into an argument and submitted a classified document from his magic storage.

Eikoku received it and checked its contents.

“…Th-This is!…Raiga, this is a great job done by this team. I can’t tell you the details here, but I can tell you that we have completed what Count Daredar asked us to do.”

Apparently, the team 『Golden Mane』 had received another request in addition to the Assassination Guild subjugation request.

He didn’t know the contents of the confidential documents, but there was no doubt that Tauro and his team, “the Black Golden Wings”, had done the best job.
