It is currently unknown.

They didn't even have time to finish the battle...

Well, let Ferrus run away now, and in a couple of rounds, reinforcements will arrive for the attackers. Oh yeah, it's quite a distance to get there...

How far do they shoot?

Probably at least 10...

So, what's the range of our bows, for example?
Can we still plant a bomb on the Rat and make a run for it?..

- And here's the floor boss... are you ready, kids? - says Genza, with a range of 9 cells. - I don't know about you, but I have something to say to him. And don't forget that the first five hits don't affect him. So, on the sixth hit, either I or Jack... or Gonor must be nearby.
Covered in blood from head to toe, without his characteristic jacket, but wearing an ASUGUH cap, he fiercely twirled a katana in his right hand, glaring somewhere in the direction of the self-proclaimed name.

I don't know... I'd probably rush ahead with Genzo and Jack, check out what's happening with the shots, and decide on the fly whether to keep fighting or better off to retreat...

It's also unclear what kind of attack Genzo has...

Added after 8 minutes
A regular bow seems to have a base damage of 40 and a range of 8.

should different types of arrow parrying also deflect them? the description doesn't mention melee attacks only.

But you have "skillful" bows with 50 damage and a range of 10. As for what theirs are, who knows...

Yes.
The default bow has 8, and the Asuguh bow has 10.

Can we see the archers' equipment?

They are equipped in a similar way to spearmen.

Hmm... Maybe Genze should attack 12 from the left, Kami from below, and if he doesn't die, add Jack from the right. Then we'll see what happens. The range of the archers is probably still 8, so they won't be able to reach them yet.
Archers can't have shields, so their Defense skill must be 5, not 4. I don't know where it came from, probably from here:

Fundamentals of Tactics
+1 to Defense skill and +5% to accuracy and +5 to initiative of allies under the command of the character.

Ginza can also have this:

Decisive Attack
If the character's team is the initiator of the battle, he and the allies under his command receive one additional turn outside the initiative order.

+1 to Defense skill and +5% to accuracy and +5 to initiative of allies under the command of the character.

This wasn't there, so now the soldiers also have 5 Defense skill (I still don't understand why they had 4 instead of 3). So Jack will have to cover the gap between Ferus and the General. Otherwise, Atimka might get taken out by the 5th...

Added 3 minutes ago
Then Genze should attack 12 not from the left, but from the right. Kami from below.

The Saga of Arcelia and Aconia

and if you read this and put it in your journal, you could instantly get +99 to all stats 🤔

They are equipped in roughly the same way as spearmen.

What about Ginza's weapon?

Added 5 minutes later

And don't forget that the first five hits don't affect him. So, on the sixth hit, either I or Jack... or Honor should be nearby.

Yeah... And besides the misses, there's also fear, paralysis, and "you won't be able to move away"...

Characters:

1) Family. Father, mother, little sister, other briefly mentioned acquaintances. I think it's fair to group them all into one entry, even if they don't have any real influence on the story.
2) The Librarian. For some reason, no one can remember her name. She has two notable features worth mentioning... I mean the long ears. She knew her job well, until she disappeared somewhere.
3) 😭Zavirushka Snegoles.😭 Worked at the university reception. A kind and friendly person who always gave students positivity and motivation. Came from Zimivian nobility, loved playing musical instruments. I learned several northern proverbs from her. Died due to the black knight and the phantom woman, which I will never forgive them for.
4) 🤠Professor Peleng.🤠 My favorite teacher and guild colleague. Always full of positivity, an exemplary Asuguhian and father of three children. Alas, we were not destined to work together on research and excavations. I hope he successfully survives the hardships of the times to come.
5) 📰Cherezhnya Mazzard.📰 A journalist from the publication of the same name. Our acquaintance began with a small migrant squabble, but then turned in a good direction. A very interesting person by nature, you never know what thought will take verbal form in her. By her own words, she has been diagnosed with psychopathy. (And long hair really suits her, after all)
6) Mitra. A worker at the Sizki transport station. Haven't seen her in a long while. Distinguishing feature: a scar on her face.
7) Suspicious man (Oogl). Hung around the station and pestered travelers. Turned out to be a harmless driver.
8) 😎Josh Lanson.😎 Protector of Onkaih. A positive person in every respect. In peacetime, he helped with lodging, told me much that was useful, and even shared dinner. In wartime, he mowed down Calcites like a reaping scythe and bravely defended his land. If only there were more people like him!
9-16) Argos, Ferrari, Britomarta, Issai, Minom, Lady Arabella, Tsunagariy, Baka. Protectors of the other cities. Managed to obtain their seals for the round-the-world booklet, but couldn't get to know them better due to the time gap.
17) 🐍Nitra.🐍 Mentor and the most important person in my guild. Also a snake-woman. Also a water miracle-worker. I only now realize that she's not just a scholar, but also a sorceress. Apparently, we won't be import-substituting magic anytime soon... Unfortunately, as with the professor, I never got to work under her guidance. After the errand with delivering the letter, our paths never crossed again.
18,159) 😢Inak and his Dog.😢 A fisherman, a man of kindness, honor, and selflessness. The first person I could openly call my "friend." Died due to the black knight and the phantom woman, which I will never forgive them for. There was also my own mistake here, which I will never forgive myself for. Though you're no longer with us, your fishing rod will continue your heartfelt path, you can be sure of that.
19) ⛏Lukon.⛏ An old miner whose firm character and iron will have stood the test of time, which can't be said of his health. I suppose that awaits us all with the years. He taught me the art of the pickaxe and even gifted me his tool. I never really knew my own grandfather alive, but I think my feelings toward Lukon are similar. To justify his trust and continue the mining science — that is a matter of honor for me.
20) 🎨Aiz.🎨 An artist, traveler, a man of lunar interests, vast experience, and unique acquaintances. Thanks to his stories and advice, I managed to complete the investigation into the black knight, but was that really such a positive thing?.. He is personally acquainted with both antagonists of my story, which suggests that... Perhaps I'll write the final conclusion about him later.
21) 😖Delez.😖 A former adventurer who caught a linguistic curse from ill-wishers. Very suspicious and cautious. Dislikes sorcerers and doctors. Taught me a useful skill that hasn't come in handy yet.
22) Delez's daughter. I know nothing about her except that she lives in the capital and doesn't visit her father. I'm sure our paths have never crossed.
23) 💔Aya💔... She .. .. An observatory worker who went missing due to the black knight. And then found herself beside him. I read an article about how victims of their tormentors sometimes become strangely attached to them, so I think something similar played a role here. A good example that first impressions can be deceiving.
24) The Observatory Director. A person shrouded in a veil of mystery.
25) 💀The Black Knight.💀 Sir Tann of Nephria, the first antagonist of my story. A great patriot of his country, which I can even respect. But that's the only thing. Absolutely elusive to all of Asuguh's defenses; our state poses no threat to him whatsoever. He is searching for the nine ancient obelisks to resurrect his homeland. He possesses the ability to place a fragment of his soul into the bodies of the slain, thus delaying their death until a time convenient for him. Our forced employer, only you won't get any help or salary from him.
26) 💂Gimal.💂 Sometimes it feels like he's the only guard in Sizki. But he does his job well.
27) Insho. A woman unknown to me who, according to Gimal, was hunting me for some reason. A year has passed since then; it was probably a prank by my classmates.
28) 🏃‍♀️Nergal.🏃‍♀️ The second person I would call a "friend," if not for his habit of running away mid-conversation... A lover of philosophy, a fine fellow, and an interesting conversationalist.
29-30) Fufu and Kazufu. The owner of the "Fair Wind" and her grandson. Interesting people; I bought an erudite's glasses from them and even ended up with an unusual little gift. I wish them all prosperity.
31-32) Nadiy and Yeri Kuromody. Owners of the shop of the same name. Bought some curious biographies from them. They've surely seen all sorts of things in their lifetime. If I'm not mistaken, they left the country after the hostilities began.
33) 💪Alastia.💪 An imposing sculptress from Zimivia in every respect. Thanks to her, I have an extra shelf in my house and several creations of her own making.
34) ♣️Svirrepka Chernosledova.♣️ Owner of "Gura-gura." Never thought about the origin of that name... She has an interesting hobby, though it has nothing to do with her main line of work. Besides various gambling entertainments and card collections, she is the inventor of the game "Tysyachnik."
35) "The Fan." A strange little man who sold a photograph of Svirrepka. No, not the kind you might be thinking of.
36) Geniya. An employee of the best restaurant in the capital.
37) 😺Issina.😺 A guard of the royal palace. Cheerful and jovial. Likes collecting cute things. Comes from... a cat-woman, in short.
38-40) Paritsa, Muskus, Lyubyusha. Eccentric but not negative residents of Tung. Bought candies from them during my travels. A pity about their homeland...
41) General Goods. Purchased goods from him during the introductory quest. I wonder, is he an actual general?..
42) The General's Wife. Heard many rumors about that fearsome woman, but fortunately never met her myself.
43) The Forgotten. Owner of the "Wolf Palace." Bought dog food there for the Dog. Who would have thought that would be his last meal... I hope you eat your fill in the natural cycle of Anuzish, buddy.
44-45) Am and Im. From the restaurant "The Unbending Brothers." Recently finally drank the wine bought there. Cool stuff, foreigners wouldn't understand! That's coming from a non-drinker, mind you.
46) Zaria. Owner of "Calcite Joys." Perhaps her shop is the only joyful thing in that country. Doesn't inflate prices, and the goods are genuinely useful — one time they even saved my life! On my last visit, she somehow mistook me for a racketeer, and it turned into a rather unpleasant situation, yeah. Could such practices really be thriving in Asuguh?
47) 🌚Lolita Morax.🌚 The Phantom Woman. Or the Phantomess. Owner of a sinister shop and the second antagonist of my story. She poses as a psychopath who enjoys "watching" ordinary people's struggles and goading them with her cruel "pranks." Compared to her, Sir Tann is a peace-loving martyr. The entire plan described above belongs to her. She also wants to resurrect Nephria, why? Well, for the lulz, probably. The only thing that keeps my hope alive is how overly theatrical she is in playing the maniac. Perhaps a bigger game is being played here. But most likely, I just want to believe that in vain. Either way, there is no forgiveness or justification for what she has done.
48) Eseres Bunpro. Died in a fire; it was even written about in the newspapers.
49) 👑Tiozar Kisekus Aalur.👑 The Tsar-Father. Before meeting him, I had mixed feelings from reading his biography, but after a personal meeting I was finally convinced of the absolute superiority of our state. Listing all his biographical and personal qualities would take more than a whole page, so I'll simply wish him good health and long years. And if you don't believe me, meet him yourself and you'll understand everything.
50) ❓The Tsar's former wife.❓ One of the mysteries of this story.
51) 👸⚔Ikusa Sizki.⚔👸 The Tsar's adopted daughter. In the future, when I become a parent, I'd want to have children as well-mannered as her. A very positive person in all qualities, and also a skilled warrior. After the Harran attack on the capital, I think, had we been born an era earlier, chroniclers would have immortalized her deed in a heroic epic.
52) Kurt Gurianos. The black knight of the house. I think my face didn't appeal to him. But I suppose that's better than the opposite.
53-58) Yuami, Rinetta, Leruzain, Xerxes, Sekira, Misti. Guild leaders I briefly glimpsed at the war council.
59) Kisa Soraе. The Lunar Diva. The greatest musical performer of our time. I strongly recommend everyone give her a listen.
60) 👿Linshi.👿 Fake-Linshi, aka the Phantom Woman. Pretended to be another person to make other victims go searching for the black knight. I wonder — did a real Linshi ever exist? Perhaps she was one of the phantom woman's early victims?..
61) Dlanik. Also known as — the university watchman, the Onkaih administration watchman, and other locations after various incidents. Has no name, but generally does his job +- fine.
62) 📔Naoya Gijo.📔 Owner of ???. Supported me in a difficult moment and shared worldly wisdom. We promised to exchange biographies once all these events are behind us.
63) Naoya's wife. Not personally acquainted, but she exists.
64) Iliada. Supposedly a secret admirer. Probably from the same series as last year. Or maybe another prank by the Phantom Woman.
65) The scary girl. Attacked me on the way to the Onkaih observatory. Barely escaped with my life, at the cost of my clothes.
66) Taipei. A resident of Onkaih, a hunter. Not personally acquainted.
67) 🏡Kamistella.🏡 A rich beauty from Enlil. A victim of the black knight (as are 72, 83, 84, 85) and my forced companion in the search for the obelisks. A gifted sorceress with a psyche unaccustomed to life's hardships.
68) Kamistella's bodyguard. Not personally acquainted.
69) 🍄Nebos.🍄 Kamistella's talking mushroom. If I understood correctly, was "eaten" due to our "employers."
70) Kimchilla. I think she was once mentioned by Kamistella; who she is, I don't know.
71) A mage from the guild who learned too much. According to Kamistella, something not very good happened to her.
72) 🧙‍♀️Erika.🧙‍♀️ Kamistella's friend. A talented sorceress with a very frightening gaze. A bad combination if you become her enemy.
73) 🍄Jack.🍄 Erika's talking mushroom. If I understood correctly, was "eaten" due to our "employers."
74) 🔪Enbilulu.🔪 Also known as the Blade Lord. Owner of the "Seven Knives" in Farris. A legendary adventurer and seeker of adventures with the richest life story in Asuguh. He's probably the only one who could have defeated the black knight in combat.
75) The Sugar merchant. A very greedy man. Barely managed to haggle at triple the price for some scroll, which I apparently won't even use.
76) The Mufigur vendor. The opposite of the above. A man with clear life principles and sensible goods.
77) Kibo. A dwarf caravaner. Gave me a ride to Ruzaniel. I'll never forget it.
78) The "Big Luck" saleswoman. After all the events, I'm suspicious of people with unusual speech patterns... I think her shop needs a serious upgrade of goods; without that, you can't stir up customer excitement.
79) Seth the Golden-Handed. An employee of the "Thirsty Lady." Buys up junk at several times below value, and then it probably ends up back on the shelves at standard price. Be that as it may, he has a monopoly on convenience for travelers, so I suppose it's better this way.
80) An employee of the Niniamat administration. Fell victim to the Phantom Woman's shop while trying to pick a lock at my request. Sorry, buddy, I didn't even remember your name...
81) The "Cold Steel" saleswoman. Stocked up on bento and the best equipment on the southern continent.
82) Milaha. The new library worker. They certainly have staffing problems, but at least I still found the information I needed.
83) 👤Genza.👤 The leader. Actually, by the plot, I wasn't supposed to know his name at first — my bad. I suspect he's a man with an unknown heavy past, which is why he didn't want to immediately start commanding our squad, as I somehow expected.
84) 🤜Ushumgallu.🤛 Simple, bold, straightforward. I generally thought he'd immediately challenge the black knight to a duel, but in the end it turned completely inside out. At least, I need not fear backstabs or other treachery from him.
85) 💤Ferus.💤 A silent journalist. I think we crossed paths earlier at economics courses. Really loves shops.
86) 💍Jalter Fonezog.💍 A guild colleague, a foreigner from distant Liberis. Owns ten unique magical rings, one of which can transport people across any distance. At first I was suspicious of him, but that was probably paranoia amid the unfolding events. What a pity that when the moment came, we didn't have a traveler in our group...
87) Refugees from Asuguh. Told me about some "gray zone," but I'm only familiar with such terminology in the context of gray voices in the final stages of schizophrenia.
88) The Scarred One. An acquaintance of my new traveling companions. A tenant from Sugar. Very protective of his legendary armor.
89) Kirumaria. The royal scribe, the third "librarian" in a row one now has to go to for literature. A tough profession, apparently...
90) 🤺Urazuki Shiki.🤺 A chance encounter while fishing. A samurai in the service of Asagiri Tokitaka and now my temporary companion. I wonder where fate will lead us.
91) An unknown sculpture in the temple. Worth mentioning for the plot's sake.
92) 🤖Suien Wanderlast.🤖 An envoy of Queen Lunamaria. A terminator of the past and a great sculptor in one person. Gave me a magnificent helmet. I bet they have more such artifacts there than I have rems...
93) The Sizki saleswoman. Robbed me on Asahin rice, won't forget, won't forgive.
_____
94-112) Nephrians I was fortunate to learn about: Sir Efiel, Lady Stoiero, Rushch, Lord Nemt, the brothers Shock and Kar, Lady Gotaa, the Many-Faced Monogat, Taun, Lord Gromm, Vilgelma, General Chum, Chadigma, Sir Rafmos, Sir Kell, Lady Zelia, Gogot, Lefram, and also a Bone Dragon x1!
113-116) Harran scoundrels: Lordess Zutyshmu, Aristokriy, Sarriosa, Zezelion (slain by Ikusa).
117-131) From paper mentions: Bruno, Evgeniy (patriarchs), Asagiri Tokitaka (Mikoto of Asahina), Zulait (founder), Sigonia (ruler), Anlak (the unlucky one), Naria es Diesra Arual (key figure of the last century), Beata, Guiyon, Klin Chegver (heroes of a bygone past), Sonata, Erefir (terminators of the past), the courtesan Sabagebu (because of whom we now can't easily visit the local obelisk), Abeas es Diesra Arual (because of whose attack Nephria became a land of the undead, and we now serve the last of her sons), Purian es Diesra Arual (because of whom, besides zombies and ogres, fanatical arsonists run around our country).
From stories:
132) Lunamaria es Diesra Arual. Queen of Margel. Daughter of the reborn Aconia, a demigoddess. A person not of this world, but since she's friendly with our tsar, I suppose there's nothing to fear?.. It will be interesting to learn what motives our northern ally will pursue in supporting Asuguh.
133) Felicia Lungworth. Tsarina of Calcite. A newcomer from another world and one of the then-valkyries (whatever that means). That's even more impressive than a simple migrant! She can cast big and cool shields or something of the sort — I don't understand your sorceries.
134) The evil bespectacled man. Some guy from Calcite who really did a number on my party members. I hope they get their revenge on him.
135) Arte. A flower girl from Shina, the reincarnation of a goddess from an alien heart carried within... Er... in short... an important figure in why Calcite gained a new tsar and ultimately attacked Asuguh.
136) Ayano Yamagami. Head of Kamimori. Probably someone like Evgeniy and Bruno?
137) The Pirate. The new tsar of Calcite. The kidnapper of Arte, a man of the wind. A very unpredictable and dangerous type. Better for me not to cross paths with such people — I'm quite the fool, after all.
138) The Apostles of Aconia. Sir Tann once hunted them, but apparently failed again. Who they are and what they're famous for, besides the mention of the goddess, is unknown.
160) Samrial Vork. Lukon's comrade who perished in an expedition.
_____
Gods and celestials:
139) Anuzish. Our mother-creator and the only unshakable, scientifically proven religious base and foundation.
140) Arcelia. Either a second earthly incarnation of Anuzish, or something else. Revered in the world and has many supporters.
141) Aconia. Until the last millennium, a swear word, and now a goddess of sunlight who has repaired her reputation.
142-145) Children of Anuzish: Rufus, Terron, Moen, Silfida.
146) Miss Cosmos. A goddess who loves alien migrants.
147) Arteria. The main Visterian deity. Goddess of the sea painted in sunlight. Rose, was killed, and was reborn already in our world.
148) Sofia. The inverse reflection and murderer of Arteria, demonstrating that love can be as destructive as it is creative.
149) Rinze. Also rose on the wave of love, but this time for beauty and for herself.
150) Risha. And I knew magic and pointy-ears weren't of this world! Serves all the heretics right.
151) Gnosis. The unattainable and incomprehensible ideal of science and erudition.
152) Teuta. A divine version of the man of the wind, no less.
153) Zhyusiksidzire. A very strange underwater deity.
154) Nammu Ai. Calcite goddess of prosperity.
155) Shiris. ^ of luck.
156) Nanaya. ^ of love.
157) Arseidia. Also known as Selena. Lunar goddess and patroness of undead souls.
158) Revan. An idol, something like a minor god or cosmic invader. Likes worthy sacrifices, dislikes unworthy ones. I suspect that after some time of inactivity, he'll "sacrifice" me myself.

↓IVA5) **The University of Sizki. Until recently, my most beloved and frequently visited place.
↓IVA6) **The Guild of Theologians. On the second floor. Had I known in advance, I wouldn't have set foot there...

↓IVA10) **Kuromod. Unique overseas trinkets of all sorts.

↓IVA15) **Gura Gura. A very interesting entertainment shop.

↓IVA18) **The bulletin board. I don't read announcements. 
↓IVA19) **The Lunarian community. Not pointy-eared.
↓IVA20) **The Sizki Market.

↓IVA22) **???. A shop of the most varied orientation... Bought several valuable paintings for the house there.
↓IVA23) **Port of Sigonia. For sea voyages, now closed to civilians.
↓IVA24) **Asmidul's Apartments. My "cursed" dwelling.
↓IVA25) **Nergal's House. The address of my acquaintance's apartment.
↓IVA26) **The Temple of Mirrors. An hour's ride from Sizki. The true spiritual abode of our tsar. A unique place of inner cleansing and tranquility, despite its extraordinary design in every respect.
↓IVB) *Onkaih. A remote and sparsely populated mountainous region. Pleasant to get away from the capital's bustle sometimes. I feel a certain calm here, as if "I" from a past life had a homeland here. 9.5/10.

↓IVB2) **Transport station.

↓IVC1) **The Farris Administration.

↓IVC5) **The Cult of Aconia.
↓IVC6) **The Unbending Brothers. Had a meal there during the time gap.
↓IVC7) **Seven Knives. The Blade Lord's shop. The assortment isn't bad, but from such an owner you involuntarily expect something more "phantom-like."
↓IVC8) **The Farris Record Book. Burned down, judging by the newspapers.
↓IVC9) **The Noire Embassy. I'll assume it's connected to the northern country of the same name. It would be funny if there were an underground tunnel under the sea.

↓IVE) *Enlil. A pleasant spot, but for a man of exact sciences, it would be hard for me to settle here due to the weak cultural enlightenment. 7/10.
↓IVE1) **The Enlil Administration.
↓IVE2) **The Guild of Arts. For refined personalities.
↓IVE3) **The Adventurer's Guild.
↓IVE4) **The Good Manticore.
↓IVE5) **Symphony of Happiness.
↓IVE6) **Faineant's Studio.
↓IVE7) **Transport station.
↓IVE8) **The Lodos Family Farm. Respected locally produced goods without harmful additives or export tariffs.
↓IVE9) **Chara. Looks too grand; I didn't dare go in.
↓IVE10) **Shinli. This is where I bought my boots. Lots of various items for various interests. You won't believe it, they even sell bricks from construction sites!
↓IVE11) **Kamistella's Mansion. I even lost consciousness from the impressiveness of that structure.
↓IVE12) **The Farsik Gate. To more sorcerers, but at least not hostile ones (for now).
↓IVE13) **The Labyrinth of Fate. Once built by the Exians. Didn't learn the details of this structure.
↓IVE14) **The House of Oaths. Never got to study it, but it has a mark on the map, so it's not a simple place.
↓IVF) *Shingen. A city of sorcerers, and therefore I have absolutely nothing to do there. 4/10.
↓IVF1) **The Shingen Administration.
↓IVF2) **The Guild of Wonders.
↓IVF3) **Transport station.
↓IVF4) **Research Mania.
↓IVF5) **Kalamandra.
↓IVF6) **The Crimson Well. A dungeon for extracting various useful resources. That's all.
↓IVF7) **The Cyclops Village. I always wondered — how can monsters live on Asuguh's territory? And recently it turned out they're apparently good folks; they helped us build walls and fortifications and such. All because appearances can be deceiving.
↓IVF8) **Hexagon. An abandoned prison. A dreadful place.
↓IVG) *Mufigur. At the time, I thought it would be some kind of dangerous city, but it's just abandoned and a little unwelcoming, though otherwise quite decent. Or perhaps I was simply lucky to visit during a relatively calm time. 6/10.
↓IVG1) **The Mufigur Administration.
↓IVG2) **Transport station.
↓IVG3) **The Adventurer's Guild.
↓IVG4) **The Mufigur Arena.
↓IVG5) **Jingo's Workshop.
↓IVG6) **Quicksand. The only shop I visited here; I was very pleased with my purchases. I recommend it to all travelers.
↓IVG7) **The Gate of Exile. Death row inmates, suicides, and other fellows with similar mindsets are sent here.
↓IVG8) **(Presumably) The Headquarters of "Passionate Desire."
↓IVH) *Ruzaniel. You can smell gambling and crime, but without excesses. I don't belong to the former, and to the latter only through the black knight's fault. 5/10.
↓IVH1) **The Ruzaniel Administration.
↓IVH2) **The Temple of Shiris.
↓IVH3) **Big Luck. As I already mentioned, they should reconsider their policy, or they won't see any customers.
↓IVH4) **Smile of Shiris.
↓IVH5) **Riska.
↓IVH6) **Four Cavaliers.
↓IVH7) **The Thirsty Lady. Slightly improved my finances here.
↓IVH8) **Transport station.
↓IVH9) **The Fallen Angel.
↓IVH10) **The Ninung Gate. Hordes of undead pour at us from here.
↓IVH11) **Anlak's Mine. An unlucky place infected with the aura of its founder.
↓IVI) *Niniamat. No longer such a calm and quiet town, but quite curious in its contents and local residents. 7/10.
↓IVI1) **Transport station.
↓IVI2) **The Guild of Pen and Ink.
↓IVI3) **Gifts of the Sea. Gladly dined there during the time gap.
↓IVI4) **Tung Goods. Producers of the best candies and masks on the southern continent.
↓IVI5) **Trilla's Academy. Unfortunately, I'm not a warrior... 
↓IVI6) **Port Azur. Last time everything there was packed with military.
↓IVI7) **The Niniamat Administration.
↓IVI8) **Cold Steel. Once again convinced that Asuguhian goods are the best in the world.
↓IVI9) **Farellian-Carnian Tales. Didn't manage to go in.
↓IVI10) **Shadow of the Phantom. A shop where even the locks are booby-trapped by its owner's bloodthirstiness. Though I can't lie: the goods there are quite unique.
↓IVI11) **The Temple of Zhyusiksidzire.

↑XIV) Margel. The main kingdom and former superpower of the northern continent. I'd like to finally visit it someday...

↑XVI) Nephria. A land of the dead in the north, ruined by war with the then-Velfern Empire. The homeland of Sir Tann. Even though the people there were originally quite well-disposed and even friendly and cheerful within their circle, I don't think its return would be such joyful news for the surrounding nations...

When I read "archers," I thought we'd be shot at with muskets or at least crossbows.
Well, it seems like we actually have another round to finish off the spearmen. Can you shoot while moving, and can you shoot through occupied squares?
Ginza used to carry a hammer; I'm almost certain there's a mace there. If he's not too fast, we can take out the archers first and then have him circle around.

You don't even know what would be more enjoyable to watch... either the brave Asuguh men passing around Ginzu or this mighty, armored Calcite man putting Genza and CO on his powerful hammer. But the archers here are definitely third in line.

And Erish knows a thing or two about restaurant tours...

“We have a lot in common. My rating of these establishments is very close to yours,” Kamistella said thoughtfully. “Except I would rate the Lodoss family farm a ten out of ten for their special yogurt! I hope they recover from the recent events... some naively believe that if a rich woman is in front of you, she will definitely demand only dishes costing fifty rem or more per serving for lunch. But that's not the case! I can quite enjoy something simple. And even among luxurious, expensive dishes, there are not many that are suitable for increasing attractiveness. I wonder what a typical goddess's breakfast consists of? Or a god... what did Akonia eat in the mortal body of Empress Naria, what does Rinze choose, what does Rufus like... ah, it's so fascinating, don't you think?

However, there was a small suspicion that Kamistella simply couldn't afford to eat in restaurants with dishes costing fifty rem or more per serving more than once a month...
