"Haha, really?"
Sharp laughed.
"It seems the answer is obvious~, the main force of the human race is here!"
"Really? Lord Sharpe has found it!"
"As expected of Lord Sharpe..."
"Shut up, you idiots—!"
Sharpe growled impatiently.
Normally, when he was in a good mood, it was okay to listen to the flattery, but now that he was in a bad mood, hearing these things only made him feel annoyed.
"You stupid bastards."
He said coldly.
"Does that mean what I say?!"
“… …”
No one dared to speak.
After a while, Shap seemed to have calmed down a little.
"... ...grown ups."
The confidant then asked.
"Should we do as you said before?"
Sharp thought for a moment.
shook his head.
"I previously thought that since the human race had gathered all their powerful warriors together, we only needed to eliminate that team. But since they even want to protect the abandoned pawns, how could I grant their wish?"
"Send the order, divide the troops... No, wait a minute—"
Halfway through his words, Sharp suddenly thought of something.
He frowned and fell into deep thought.
Something's wrong. What a coincidence! Just one of them died? If I were the leader of those humans, would I make such an obvious mistake...
"Lord Sharpe?"
Seeing that he was slow to give orders, his confidant could only muster up the courage to ask.
Sharp looked up.
“Now is not the time to be completely sure.”
"?"
"Go, send me more men! I need to confirm whether that unit is the enemy's main force—!"
... ...
... ...
Crack! Pop!
A gloomy wilderness without any starlight.
A small bonfire continued to dispel the thick darkness around.
The six brave men sat around one of the bonfires.
"This is roughly where we are now..."
Analond said, pointing to the map.
"Wait, is this just an approximate location?" Russell looked skeptical. "Will we get lost this way?"
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Analond sighed helplessly.
"The entire Demon Continent is almost entirely filled with this identical desolate landscape, with few landmarks to serve as landmarks."
"We are lucky because there are many 'experts' in the expedition team, so we have not deviated from the main direction so far."
"Hey, even if you say that, it doesn't make us feel at all reassured. Our journey is very long. Is there no one who can accurately point out where we are?"
Analond put down the map.
In the light of the campfire, the contents on the map were clearly reflected.
That is the map of the entire Demon Continent.
There are many arrows engraved on it, and the starting points of all the arrows are from a certain location on the west coast. Seven of them are fan-shaped and heading deep into the Demon Continent. That is the marching route of the seven legions.
There is also a thinner arrow that circles most of the Demon Continent along the outside of the Demon Continent, and then extends into the continent from a position completely opposite to the other seven arrows, finally pointing directly to the center of the continent.
And this is the route of their expedition.
Considering that the mission required secrecy, they chose this route which was the longest but had the least chance of being exposed.
As long as the main force of the Demon King's army is attracted to the other side of the continent by the seven legions, then those who come from the opposite direction will not encounter the large-scale forces of the Demon King's army.
In addition, although the journey is long, all the members who can join the expedition team are strong.
Their speed was much faster than that of ordinary troops, so the journey that seemed far did not actually take that long.
"... I know that if we can't accurately determine our position, it will inevitably affect our progress. However, in a place like this where everything looks the same, accurately determining our position is simply impossible for anyone."
"Can't those people be combined together?"
"No, this is not a problem that can be solved by having more people."
At this time, Ika, who had been silent, picked up the map.
She just glanced at the map and pointed.
"here."
“… …”
Crack~, snap~.
The surroundings became quiet.
The other people around the campfire all looked at Ika.
"Sorry, Ika... what did you say?"
Analond asked uncertainly.
"We are here."
The voice without any emotion sounded again.
Analond took the map, looked at the location Ika pointed to, and then looked at her.
"... When did you develop this ability?"
After spending so much time together, the heroes basically understood that although the Book Hero Ika was taciturn, she was incredibly knowledgeable, and it would be a good idea to ask her questions about knowledge.
The only drawback is...
Having spent so many years in the White Pagoda, she has almost no social or wilderness survival skills... or rather, these skills are simply at the knowledge level.
That's why people are skeptical about this.
"Ika, how do you judge?"
Face doubts.
Ika still had that expressionless look on his face.
She stretched out her hand and pointed at a mountain in the distance.
