Isekai Nonbiri Nouka-Chapter 783: Ultra High Speed Village Parade (1)
Chapter 783 – Ultra High Speed Village Parade (1)
Four centaur warriors, or rather, four cavalries, with long spears, were galloping in formation.
They were galloping in a slightly off center double row formation.
The fact that they were slightly off was probably intentional as there was no misalignment in their formation even though they were moving at a considerable speed.
Is it to avoid obstructing the view from the left and right?
As the cavalry passed by the tower I was riding in, Daga, a lizardman, who was standing by, shot an arrow that emitted a sound into the sky.
The sound is a signal for the angels and harpies to take off and the high elves to start playing instruments.
This is the start of this year’s village parade.

Leading this year’s village parade is a group of beastkins.
Leading the parade is Gulf, dressed in leather armor.
All of the beastkins, including Gulf, are holding curved swords in both hands and are dancing forward.
Although they appear to be dancing as they pleased, they are not dancing randomly as they are moving in sync at key points.
If they wanted to, they could move as one.
That’s how much the beastkins had practiced.
By the way, when the civil servant girls told them that they would be leading the parade in the village, they all shed tears.
All include the beastgirls and the blacksmiths.
I wondered if they wanted to lead the parade so badly. I felt sorry that I had not entrusted it to them before.
Well, it’s not a bad position to be at the front of the parade.
It makes you stand out.
……..
I don’t think that’s enough for someone to cry about but let’s not talk about the details.
In any case, the beastkins, who have been tasked to lead the parade, have been practicing whenever they’re free.
The results of that practice have been amply demonstrated.
Incidentally, the representative of the beastkins is Senna. Why is Gulf in the lead…..
In fact, a few days before the parade was to be held, she discovered that she was pregnant.
This year, she had to wait in the observation area with Ann and Ramurias.
Sorry for all the practice you have done.
Well, even if she had said she wanted to go, the beastkins would have stopped her.

Following the beastkins was a band of high elves with musical instruments.
Their marching with percussion, brass, and string instruments was not flashy but eye-catching.
Behind the group of high elves are the titans from the north dungeon which are equipped with big hammers.
Those big hammers were made by the titans for this parade.
They had been preparing since last summer.
They are wielding it as if to show it off.
Ah, some of them are even pounding the prepared stakes.
I’m glad to see that they are being practical.
It’s well made even if it’s only used for parades.
-0-
Behind the titans are the lamias of the south dungeon.
They march in a juggling manner, each holding bladed rings.
They must have practiced a lot because they are even changing formation to the front and back, left and right, while juggling.
I was impressed seeing that, but I couldn’t help but think that they could have done that without using bladed rings.
-0-
Next to the lamias was a group of inferno wolves led by Kuro and Yuki.
They looked more dignified than usual, perhaps because they were aware of the parade outside.
No one’s looking away from the parade.
What splendid leadership.
-0-
Following the inferno wolves are Zabuton’s group.
Zabuton’s leading followed by the stuffed animals containing the spiderlings.
The carriages that carry the stuffed animals have been completed and if the parade is to be held outside, they would be pulled by the centaurs. Not in this village parade though.
The centaurs probably would prefer marching among their race rather than with the spiderlings in this village’s parade so the carriages are all tied together and are being pulled by spiderlings.
However, they look more like carts than carriages.
A few spiderlings are showing themselves out of their costumes but they won’t do this in the parade outside.
You’ll be scolded if you don’t hide properly.

After Zabuton’s group is a big space.
No, the parade did not break or anything.
Because the next group is the dragons.
In the lead is Dors, followed by Raimeiren, Hiichirou, Guraru, Girar, Guronde, Hakuren, Rasuti, Doraim, Grafaloon, Domain, Kwon, Kworun, Sekiren, Maxbergak, Suiren, and Helzenark.
Normally, there would be a fair amount of vibration even if only one dragon walked but the vibration was minimal because they were walking carefully.
Although their marching speed is slow, the dragons are big so there’s no danger of them being pulled apart.
Ah, Hiichirou seems to be enjoying himself.
Guraru is smiling too and it’s so obvious even though she’s in her dragon form.
At the tail end is not Helzenark but someone else.
Rananon in her dragon form.
She will not participate in the parade outside the village but she joined this one.
I had thought that the reason she didn’t want to participate in the parade outside the village was because she couldn’t transform into her dragon form but in fact, she could transform.
I don’t know when she was able to do so.
It seems that Rananon did not want to transform into her dragon form so she did not tell anyone about it.
Only Rasuti knows.
Rasuti was the one who told Rananon to join.
I didn’t think it was necessary for her to join but if she could transform into her dragon form, I guess she has to show it to others.
If she doesn’t show others her dragon form, she might get attacked in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Rananon also agreed that joining the parade in the village would be a good idea…..
Rananon’s dragon form…..
Covered in gray scales, her dragon form is slightly bigger than an adult dragon.
She has fiery red eyes but they showed more wisdom than intimidation.
Not bad, according to me.
Well, I think she looks cool but I don’t think there’s any reason for her to refuse to transform into a dragon.
From what I’ve seen, her gray color shines like snow…..
Incidentally, Dors and Girar shuddered as soon as they saw Rananon in her dragon form for the first time.
They envisioned her as someone with the same name as Rananon.
Do they look alike?
No resemblance?
Nothing at all?
Then, why did you envision her as someone else?
Girar even used Guronde as a shield.
Are they on a similar wavelength?
You mean atmosphere?
In any case, don’t be too frightened because that will affect Rananon.
-0-
Looking at Girar closely, you will notice a scar on his head and neck.
Those were probably the result of using Guronde as a shield.
And they were even in their dragon forms.

Girar aside, a group of angels and harpies took off at the start of the parade.
The one who’s leading them was Reginleif.
After her, to her left and right, are Malbit and Ruincia.
After them are Suarurou and Raz Maria.
The harpies are lightly armed but the angels are heavily armed.
They are wearing the same equipment they wore last fall when we were searching for Count Pugyaru.
They look like golden mythical characters.
They also give off the atmosphere that they are going straight to a battlefield. Is it because Reginleif is in the lead?
The fact that Malbit, the angel chief, is not in the lead is a result of a comparison of their ability to command group battles.
Malbit and Ruincia are more suited to politics and strategy.
When it comes to leading a group in battle, Reginleif, Suarurou, and Raz Maria are better than them.
The three of them had a discussion, or rather, a mock battle in teams of ten and Reginleif won.
She became the leader after that.
By the way, Kierbit is more oriented toward politics and strategy.
Tier can lead a unit but it is said that she’ll be more effective in individual battles.
Likewise, Gran Maria, Kuudel, and Corone can also lead troops but they will fare better if they act as a group of three rather than commandeering.

The harpies accompanying the angels are lightly armed but carry luggage on their backs and feet.
The luggage seems to be armaments and food for the angels.
I see. So, they play a supporting role to maintain the fighting ability of the angels.
In some cases, they also charge together with the angels?
The harpies are in a tough situation.
Hnn?
That will only happen as a last resort if they’ll ever be cornered?
Basically, they are tasked to run away, or rather, they are to recover wounded angels and retreat?
I see.
