Hurry! Hurry!
Sir!
Hurry, before someone beats us to it!
Right!
There's a big payment promised for this one! Get ready to—
There they are!
Kill them!
I'm seeing a lot of potential chaos here.
This is hard to believe.
I never thought they'd be so aggressive.
Brother.
It might be best to retreat through the underground passage.
No, it would be faster to slip out through the city in the chaos.
You've mustered all the forces we have, right?
I've put out the call.
Shiji Bau says she hired the Iron Whale.
The Iron Whale?
They may not make it in time, though.
Throw all currently available adventurers at the aggressors.
Xylo Forbartz.
As it is, we have no choice but to kill the one pacted to the goddess.
Iri. Stay close to me.
I will, Brother. I'll give my life to protect you if I must.
Good.
Family willing to die for family.
That's how the world should be.
Sentenced to Be a Hero
Sentenced to Be a Hero
That bastard, Xylo. He planned for it to go this far, didn't he?
We can only hope so.
If he did, he's more reckless than I ever imagined.
It's time! Kill them all!
Pathetic.
Well? Who's next?
An adequate performance.
Aw, come on. I can't do business like this. Gimme a break.
There we are.
Take that!
My shop.
Hey! Show a little restraint!
I'm sealing off paths for reinforcements!
A child?
What do I do?
How many are there? Damnation.
They're nothing to fear. Just watch out for their lower angles of attack.
I know that. But...
Too slow.
The seal of violet lightning, Gwemel, huh?
See how to fight them now, Holy Knight?
Xylo, what is the plan moving forward?
I hope you have something better than fruit packed into that skull of yours.
We make the commotion bigger.
Lideo Sodrick won't be able to ignore that.
Your skull's contents are worse than fruit, I see.
I've never heard such a sloppy plan—
That's enough!
Would you be the ones raising havoc in our city?
Time to get what's coming to you.
What a joke. They're letting ruffians handle security around here?
Looks like it.
It seems you haven't had the pleasure.
We're the top party at the Ioff City Adventurers Guild.
Arriving in a shower of blood, it's the Giant-Hunter Brigade!
Never heard of you.
All right, men! Show no mercy!
Lightning staves?
Fire!
You idiots! Watch where you're aiming!
What are these things?
What an absolute farce.
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Anyone who hits them gets a big reward!
Given the lack of firepower and accuracy,
it seems they've brought festival fireworks.
You handle them!
Wait! Don't leave me with these fools!
Take this!
Threaten Xylo or me and you declare war on the Mastibolt family.
You will regret these acts.
If you care about the city, call off this nonsense and do your jobs right.
Hey, they make a good pair after all.
A troll?
Sodrick was keeping a faerie, too?
It is certainly worse than an unruly pet.
How the tables have turned.
Now, let's finish the job.
Yeah!
Let's go!
If that's how you want it...
Aw, crap.
Ahem.
It appears you require my blessing after all.
My knight, you are getting your just deserts for leaving me behind.
However!
In my beneficence, I shall now save you.
Now, all of you, let us begin.
Come now. Come now.
I'll have to apologize to Siena and Zofflec later.
Who are those people?
Let me give you a word of advice.
Every single one of you had better run or surrender this instant.
If you don't, you're dead meat.
Brother, this way.
I won't rise to their provocation.
We need to keep our heads down and get out.
I am Norgalle Senridge the First, king of the United Kingdom of Zef-Zeyal Meht Kioh.
My loyal subj—
Shut up!
Who the hell are you?
Die!
Get down from there!
Drop dead!
I regret having to resort to vigilante justice.
But for the crime of high treason,
I sentence you to death by explosion.
Shit! Get him!
Charge!
Cavalry now?
What a damn pain in the ass.
Here ya go.
What the...
Damn it.
Let's turn around!
Here it comes.
I can't believe they dragged you poor horses into this.
Go on. Get going.
Are you kidding?
Xylo, go! We'll distract it!
Teoritta!
My knight!
Help me out!
We're taking them down!
Have you realized the importance of having a goddess at your side?
Sure. Never been more aware!
Captain! This way!
Rajit!
Can you do it, Xylo Forbartz?
Let's go.
Right.
My knight,
let us end this at once.
Thanks.
You saved us.
Is that the best you can do?
Have you forgotten the necessity of words of praise?
I seek them from no one else. Only my knight.
Xylo, I wish to hear you tell me how impressive you think I am.
You really are one hell of a goddess.
What the hell is going on here?
Do you see now?
Repent for your crimes now, and I shall grant you all forgiveness.
Who are these guys?
Run!
Don't push!
I can't get through!
What's going on?
How could this happen?
The city my predecessor left to me.
Brother! Don't get separated!
Brother!
Iri!
Hey, sorry.
I really didn't wanna do this.
This real nasty guy threatened me into it.
I was against it.
Li—
I feel bad about doing this to you,
but I hope you'll just come along quietly.
I promise not to hurt you.
Quite a commotion over there.
Things have quickly spiraled out of control.
Lideo Sodrick may already be dead.
What a mess.
I come all the way out here, and now my employer is dead?
I don't work without pay.
I'm out.
I'll get my money from the Adventurers Guild and leave town.
Boojum, what about you?
I'm going to go save Lideo Sodrick.
It feels only polite.
Are you serious?
