The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero

The V1 Chapter 44 Ogres

“It would be better if we are not close to the city ....... said you?”

Luuty made a puzzled face at Shion's proposal.

Earthworms, who started running again after their camp was over, now stopped at a place where the city they were heading to was already visible.

The place surrounded by this meadow had good visibility, and they could even see the forest scattered in the back of the city very well.

For the time being, no one seemed like the figure of Ogres, and they felt relieved.

"Yes. From what I can see, it doesn't look like Ogres is approaching in the city. But if we go there now, there is concern that our actions will be restricted.”

According to the request, it was a situation where a missing person had already appeared.

If they were left behind by the feudal lord as well on top of that, the anxiety and pressure of the townspeople should have increased.

There might be people who have left the city and fled, but among the citizens who basically lived in the city, there might be many who were hesitant to do that.

It was for this reason that he suspected it was turning into a situation where they bet on a glimmer of hope and sent a request to the Adventurers.

This naturally meant that the Adventurers who came to the city would be equal to the Messiah for them. However, at the same time, the mentality of not wanting them to be away from the city might as well come into play.

If that was the case, they would come up with some sort of excuse to ask them not to leave the city, instead, and that would definitely make them petition that they want them to protect the city from the giants that they do not know when they will come.

And it would be fine if the Ogres attacked, but if they did not, they would be locked up in the city, until no one knew how long.

If the Ogres were to suddenly make an attack on a scale they could not handle during that time, then there would be nothing else they could do.

If that happens, it's of no use.

“T, but, there are Adventurers in the Adventure Guild of the city, right?”

“...... Looks like they happen to all be out.”

Luuty replied like that with Sharon's words.

However, Shion thought that it was not really the case. He had no positive evidence, but they most likely fled.

For Adventurers who lacked the ability to fight on a large scale, Ogres was a dangerous threat.

And then, he also could not just criticize them for the act of escaping.

That was because even though fighting by risking one's life was the work of Adventurers, throwing one's life in a fight that had no chance of success was not the job of Adventurers.

It was the work of a feudal lord or state that was supposed to protect the inhabitants, or the knights that worked for them.

However, with Luuty's position, he might be hesitant to say that to students who have hopes, dreams and futures.

“After all, we cannot casually in the city just to wait for the Ogres attack that we do not know when they will come. We should probably chase them from here. “

For this reason, Shion also made that statement after choosing his words.

He didn't need to care about Humans, but maybe because of what happened last night, a little kindness had been mixed in before he realized it.

"That's right. However, even if you say that we should pursue them ...”.

“Itu, jungle.”

When Cain seemed to be immersed in his words, Zweita said that and cut him off.

"Rubber. Ogres have a tendency to live in the forest, which is easy to become a refuge. Did You Know?”

In response to Zweita's sensible words, Luuty said "That's true" and laughed.

That's right, the Ogres live in forests and mountains.

A goblin lacking intelligence would make settlements regardless if it was in a meadow or plains, but Ogres was different.

Those who had the intelligence to not would make settlements in such places.

“In this case, it makes things simple.”

When Luuty said that, he started pouring magical power into the magic ball.

“For Steiner, he will be waiting here on standby, and if any suspicious person approaches, I have told him to deal with them appropriately.”

“It would be good.”

Since it was not like they could enter into the forest with Earthworms, it was probably appropriate.

Of course, it would probably be fine even if Worms came in, but there was also the possibility that the basic livelihood of the city was forest.

In such a case, it is futile to render the tree useless, and will lead to adverse results.

“Then, we will walk from here, right.”

“Yes. It would be better to bring the campground tools to a minimum as well.”

Shion answered like that to Cain, and Zweita quickly began packing the innate parts of Shion and Zweita.

Sharon also mimicked him and immediately started working, but it seemed like he couldn't do it like the pro Zweita in those routine tasks.

Incidentally, Shion was not very good at such a job.

From the moment he was in the Black Continent, he simply did not have a chance for it because Eina and Zweita would be too helpful, and if anything, he would have, he was the type of person who would pack too many unimportant things.

“After preparation is complete, let's leave immediately.”

Luuty despite not having the same speed as Zweita, finished packing his luggage with good skill, announcing that while helping Sharon out.

After seeing Zweita standing there unaided, Shion thought that part of Luuty was part as an educator. Or, perhaps due to the fact that Zweita is no good to anyone other than Shion.

“Yosh, it's done!”

With Cain being the last to finish his preparations, he descended the rope ladder.

How they go with the rope ladder still in an abandoned state makes people have questions about this in terms of crime prevention, but no one felt that there would be people thinking of trying to steal Earthworms.

It was completely different from stealing a horse, and if one tried and did that, the chances of them being turned into minced meat by Earthworms themselves were higher.

The fact that Luuty had a cage for his personal use in the royal capital was not for crime prevention reasons, but for consideration that the wounded would not grow aimlessly.

At the same time he became fussy over that part as an educator, it was also something that was requested from the guards of the royal capital.

Therefore, there was absolutely no problem in leaving Earthworm here alone.

“Then, let's go.”

Everyone nodded at Luuty's orders.

They'll pass through the city from here and go deep into the woods. The Ogres were most likely there.
