I Reincarnated But Will Try To Live Without Using My Cheat Ability - CH 312

The next day, the casualties were reported.

There were 74 dead and 159 injured.

As I expected, our losses were also huge.

Nevertheless, we have no intention of holding back.

However, even while on the run, if we are attacked by ambush soldiers, we will have wasted our lives.

The rest… let’s hope they don’t try to abandon them.

There was no such organized resistance.

About 100 people were in pursuit because there were signs that they were fleeing.

I decided to leave the handling of casualties to Antium.

In my absence, Mil would automatically be in charge of the strategy meeting.

But I think it would be a good idea to give her a formal notice.

I will have Mil and Kiara inform them that I will be gone for a while.

While passing through the abandoned fort on the way, we would further approach the demon territory.

The fort was originally built by us…

During the chase, Charles came to me.

“My lord, I think you should make arrangements for the transportation of troops. Our logistics are stretched pretty thin. I don’t think the enemy can afford a counterattack.”

I stopped Charles with my hand.

“No need to discuss this. Just tell me your decision.”

Charles bowed and the march came to a halt.

This time, our logistics will be stretched.

That firm decision is really dependable.

I honestly cannot predict what the demon tribe will do in the future.

However, if there is any remaining strength, they will come to the rescue of the defeated soldiers who are being pursued.

The cavalry is ahead of us, and we are able to confirm the situation.

The defeated remnants were also dropping out little by little.

The enemy was now thinking only of escaping straight back.

They probably can’t afford it.

I want to finish them off while their brains are still paralyzed.

Although they are riding horses from the pursuit, they are still struggling with unfamiliar riding.

While we were encamped, thinking about the future, Charles came up next to me.

“My lord, may I have a word?”

I wonder why he went to the trouble of asking permission from me.

“Yes, come in.”

“I don’t mean to tell you to stop the chase. It’s just that it smells a little strange.”

“What’s strange?”

Charles shrugged at my question.

“I don’t have a clear theory. I just have a bad feeling about it.”

Charles spoke unusually softly.

“I guess it’s the kind of intuition that only those who have been in battle for many years can understand.”

“I don’t mean to sound ostentatious. I just can’t believe that nothing is going to happen.”

“I understand. Let’s be cautious from here, shall we?”

Charles gave me a surprised look.

“That was quite simple.”

“The reason why I agreed to this is not only because I entrusted Sir Rossi to lead the mission. We don’t know the true nature of the demon tribe and there is the dragon story. I don’t know how true this is, but I just want to say that I have no objection to being cautious.”

Charles looked at me and grinned.

“We will be very careful tomorrow. It would be foolish to go after less than a hundred people and cause damage, after all.”

I nodded silently at his words.

We were cautious about pursuing them the next day.

There must be a logistics problem.

As long as I was in charge, I had no particular say in the matter.

The last few days had flown by.

Because of our careful march, the distance between us and the defeated soldiers has not grown any shorter, nor has it separated us.

If they were leading us, it would be a very good distance…

Now, there’s no point in worrying about it.

At last, the demon’s territory came into view.

In other words, a narrow passage.

Unexpectedly, I felt nervous.

As the army advanced into the narrow passage, the fog suddenly became thicker.

This is really suspicious.

If nothing happened, it would be a gag.

As I was thinking this, Charles came up to me.

“My lord, it’s going to be tough marching in this visibility.”

“I agree. Shall we pull out?”

When I readily agreed to withdraw, Charles looked a little disappointed, but immediately bowed and returned to the front.

I moved backward to pull up, but for some reason, I couldn’t reach the exit.

It’s like a lost path in a haunted place.

I wonder if this will happen by any chance.

There’s nothing we can do now that we’ve come this far.

Now it’s just a matter of getting out.

There was no decision not to enter the narrow passage.

Immediately, I sensed something was wrong and made no wrong decision to pull out.

People around me were agitated, but I remained calm.

No matter whether I panicked or regretted, nothing would change.

Then a report came running and told us to pause the march.

Yes, the fog was getting thicker, and I couldn’t even see one meter in front of me.

Obviously, this is unusual.

Then I sense an unusual presence in the sky.

First, the horses started to go berserk.

I, who is not a good rider, am knocked to the ground in a spectacular manner.

Then all the other creatures suddenly stiffened.

I guess it’s a powerful kind of binding magic.

Observing my surroundings, I see that time has not stopped.

The movement of the animals was stopped.

As proof, the grass at my feet is moving.

And I hear voices.

Is this expression not correct?

It feels like it is vibrating and resonating from inside my body.

It is similar to the sound of bone vibration before my reincarnation.

And the intonation has no ups and downs, more like a voice reproduction software than a human voice.

It is almost like a bar reading.

“Are you the leader of the group?”

Would he understand if I spoke normally?

“Yes.”

“I have come to ask a favor of you, my Lord. I will not harm you, so why don’t we talk in the garden?”

If I refuse now, we will be annihilated…

If the other party is willing to discuss it, I’ll have no choice but to take them up on it…

“I don’t mind as long as you return me back afterwards.”

Something like laughter echoed inside me, and suddenly my body floated up.

As I continued to float up, I exited the fog.

And then… there it was… a dragon.

Naturally, it was huge.

It must have been about 30 meters long.

It was a white dragon.

I wondered if it could manipulate the fog at will.

While I was thinking such a leisurely thought, the dragon started to move with me floating.

We were heading for a nearby plateau cut out of granite.

The plateau is quite high.

The plateau is indeed like a garden.

It has the appearance of an isolated island on land.

The plateau was about one kilometer in circumference, with a slight sink in the middle.

Furthermore, it looked like a tropical rainforest, which was not suitable for the surrounding climate.

I was lowered into the center of the plateau.

And the dragon quietly landed in front of me.

I had no idea he really existed.

I was so carefree that I could laugh at myself.
