Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

― ― The Nadar Reinforced Imperial Soldiers, led by Leon Grants, formed a formation on a small hill west of the Mildoor Plains.

I'm not on the front line, I'm still back for the operation.

Not as a Nadar army, but as an Imperial General.

Before the war, Polk Nadar stayed in the hills under the pretext that he would not take advantage of it, but was actually waiting for an opportunity to move.

This is a low hill, so you can see the battlefield to some extent, even if you can't see everything.First, I accompanied Polk Nadar with a new army of magicians who remembered the new defensive magic, waiting for the report, and now I'm watching the middle of the two armies from above the hill.

Of particular concern is the Royal Army's magician squad.

Leon came into contact with Polk Nadar originally because there were reports of a sudden increase in the skill level of the Royal Army's magician squad, and he wanted to know how powerful it was.

That's why I'm watching the movements of the magician forces.

Düsseia looks at me like she's asking.

My lord.

"... the magicians are more agile than ever."

That's what Leon said.

When I was running my magician unit, I didn't see the dullness of the movements that I was supposed to be following from the current Royal Army magicians.

... even when it comes to movement, magician units tend to activate magic simultaneously to concentrate their Attack when attacking.Then the magic activation time must be matched by all troops, which will take some time.

"Magic Adjustment" for the selected Magic.

"Chanting Times" related to the time of magic activation.

Based on them, the waste of time is even greater than in other military disciplines.

However, contrary to such common sense, the Royal Military Magic Mentor Unit was agile and well organized.

As you can see, before the infantry unit collided, it was the first magic exercise.

Although the spells were supposed to be cast almost simultaneously with the Nadar army, they were activated only slightly faster on the Enemy side, and there were few failures due to defects such as the chanting failure that often occurs when magic is used.

There will certainly be a difference between the central headquarters and the local private forces.

But still the wizard of the same kingdom.I don't think there was an insurmountable difference.

Nevertheless, I have seen the difference here and now.

"I'm sure there's something that has improved the skill level of the magician's army."

Still?

"Ah, I see. This battle was a long one.It's quite a difference in power among the Royal Army. "

Well then, it seems like we need to keep exploring.

"That's right, Lieutenant.How about a record?

"Ha-ha. You do as you're told. Be careful."

After hearing Livel's reply, Leon turned to another side.

Well then, let's finish off with a report from our magician squad ― Arias.Can I count on that?

"Of course. Dr. (Doc) said this time that magic is a masterpiece, so I think it meets your expectations.

This is about defensive magic.

With the use of that silver star, and the inscription of Megas's senior brother, I'm pretty sure it's the first time.

In the meantime, Dusseia, who was looking at the battlefield,

"Do you think Polk Nadar can take Seyran's neck?

I'll ask you what you know.

"I don't think so. He's obsessed with the neck of Seireans, and he's skewing his troops toward them.On the other hand, Seiran... I'm sure he knows exactly what that pig is after.While consolidating his own defenses, he is successfully guiding the Nadar army as a decoy.Fu, that must be the pig that hung the bait right in front of you. "

It was such irony that I rushed my mouth with a smile.

Polk Nadar is distracted by Seiran, and nothing else is in his sight.

That's exactly what pigs look like with their bait in front of them.

Point a part of the battlefield to Düsseia, who has not yet arrived with a pin, with a wand in his hand.

Beyond that, from the center of the line to the right flank.

Crusader Infantry Squad The Nadar Infantry Squad that supports the front.

Look at that.

"Ha!"

"... because the Count has to take Seiran down.Yeah, well, there's only one way to go after Seylan.However, we need to have a proportionate number of infantry to fight, so we need to split the front support.But we can't afford to be sidelined, nor can we have enemies between the Count and the sidelines.That's why the lateral team will continue to do so indefinitely. "

If the enemy takes the side, the line of battles will be cut from there.

If there is a hole between the sidelines and Polk Nadar's troops, there is a danger that the enemy soldiers will fall in and Polk Nadar will be sandwiched.

That's why the front support infantry needs to push the sidelines to the right so that there is no gap between them and Polk Nadar, who is heading south after Seiran.

Regardless of the will of Polk Nadar.

"With a certain number of troops, we can support the enemy infantry, but the Nadar army is a good place to gather.Not enough equipment, not enough numbers, not enough - look at the center, the sidelines are about to run out. "

Not only is the concentration of troops on the right flank, but also the horizontal formation is extended and corresponded to, so the vertical formation of the first horizontal formation is thinner.

Overlooking it would be dangerous at a glance.

"There shouldn't have been such a big difference between the number of crusaders and the Nadar army."

"The same number was the story of the beginning of the war.If they get knocked out, the number will be reduced, and they are using their backward troops to fill in the hole, considering replenishing it.And that Rustinel soldier. "

If the line extends sideways, the opponent will also have to extend the line.

However, assuming that the battle line would extend horizontally and become shallower, the Enemy swallowed the central part of the horizontal formation with Rustinel soldiers, known for their strength, and reinforcements from the center, the Wizard's forces.

Sooner or later, the Nadar army will be devoured and destroyed in battle.

If the sidelines get thinner, all that's left is to be torn apart.

"If the tactics aren't wrong, the crusaders will never lose this battle.Even if the numbers are available, the strength and equipment of the soldiers are different.But... "

What is still to be feared is Seirian genius who can do it.

Knowing the enemy's purpose, he fights for himself and masters the battlefield.Leon was expecting it, but I didn't think we'd make it this far.

The general who chooses only the best of our thoughts will be quite competent.

Light the paper cigarette and let the smoke spill.

"... how old was Seiran?I don't think you've fought so well with your childhood.It looks like they're showing us the scriptures and the gist. "

"The son of a dragon must be a dragon."

"I didn't expect this to be the way we expected it to be.The kingdom is no shame. "

"Is this as you predicted?"

"That's true.This solution is based on the assumption that the crusaders will choose the best option.It was carried out as expected.There's nothing else to be ashamed of. "

Often there are many failures in the solution.

More than many people are involved in the event of war, there is no escape from failures, delays, mistakes, etc., and it is impossible to choose the best hand for everything.

It would be enough to say that we have been able to avoid them all this time.

"Your Majesty would have breathed that the kingdom would be next after the Dunbald and Medalian wars, but... it might get tougher."

"After all, before you grow up, you mow it."

"That's better.We will mow them with our hands before the dragon grows into a king. "

Then Arias raised his doubts.

"My lord, I find that strange.The king of the kingdom is the prince, so should we capture him rather than kill him?If you are a prisoner of war, it will also be advantageous for future negotiations with the Kingdom. "

"Hostages."

"Yeah."

Indeed, Arias is right, it is one hand.

But...

"I'm sorry to change the subject, but does Lord Arias know about the King of Yambakra?

"... the Book of the Proverbs is the story of the King who appeared in the Second Spirit Age.In the private sector, it is passed down as a foolish king who tried to harm Chain, one of the two spirits. "

"That's right. King Yambakra bound the chain of the spirits, the" spirits of the wedge ", to prisoner with an iron chain in order to make his authority unwavering, but on the contrary, the king suffered a calamity and destroyed himself.Foolishness in trying to reach out to large things that cannot be handled by a person, and foolishness in trying to reach out easily without carefully investigating the other person.It's an ancient tradition that tells these lessons. "

"As you said, it is common for excess behavior to bounce back on itself.But no matter how powerful the opponent may be, does the Emperor want the identity of Seireans?

"No, Your Majesty has already told me that we can discuss it."

Yes, Leon was already checking on Seyran's identity.

But then the words returned from the emperor,

--Never despise Rhinol, never despise Closelord.

--You don't have to risk being a prisoner.

- If you can, just kill him.

--If successive emperors hadn't said selfish things to Rhinol's opponents, half of Rhinol would already have belonged to the Empire.

The Emperor nailed Leon.

Don't be greedy, don't be King Yambakra, yes.

If we don't get rid of it when we can, we'll suffer an extra disaster.

"His Majesty was joking about whether he would die with his neck chopped off..."

"Cut off the neck and people die."

"It would be fine if it were.Otherwise, he's not like the Emperor. "

"So the Emperor won't die if he chops off his neck?

"The court sparrows don't do that often."

I don't know how much more powerful he is... but he's the emperor.I can't tell you that it's impossible.

That's how Leon was talking to Arias, that's how it was.

"So, a message! Give Lord Grants a quick reward!

A soldier with information is rushing towards us.

What's the matter?Seems like a pretty intense disturbance.

"What's wrong? Is there an emergency?

When Düsseia asks, the message gives an unexpected report.

"The First Magic Troop was eaten or destroyed by the guards under the control of Seiran!!

Hmm!?

"Mm...."

"That's...."

The report makes the neighborhood nervous.

The magician's unit that the message spoke of was one of the three units attached to Polk Nadar.

That's...

"Or destroyed!?That's the unit the Count was following!?

"Ha! As Count Polk Nadar pursues the Neighborhood Guard led by Seylan, he puts in the First Magic Troop to break the Neighborhood Guard!However, the Troop was devastated by the magic of the Enemy Magic Master!The 2nd and 3rd Troops are now working together, but the enemy's magic is too harsh to defend. "

"What happened to the [First Class Barrier Regiment (Wall Alter)]!That new spell from Lord Arias..... "

"That's why enemy magician offensive magic is a magic that easily penetrates a new form of defensive magic...."

"Stupid... it must be a defensive magic that can outperform the bundled [Flame Spear (Flame Rune)]."

As Düsseia stunned, she turned to Arias.

"Lord Arias"

"... that's not supposed to be that easy to break."

Was it unexpected that it was broken?A lower voice made me feel like I was confused.

"The [First Class Barrier Regiment (Wall Alter)] was assumed to have been further strengthened by the [Flame Spear (Flame Rune)] magic.Unless it's so magical, it won't get out easily. "

"But the magician army that I actually remembered broke down the barrier and destroyed it."

…………

I wonder if Arias can say anything about this.

However, Leon and the [Type 1 Barrier Regiment (Wall Alter)] already know how high their defenses are.After she brought me a spell, I checked her effectiveness and performance.

However, I couldn't help but be disappointed that the arrows put into action were easily torn.

"Message, sir. Was it the magic of the Crossell Road?

"No, Seiran was the first to use magic.From what I've seen, I think it was someone from the nearby guard. "

"The Neighborhood Man is not a magical attack on the entire unit, is it?

"Yes, only one person used it.A nobleman's younger brother.It also looked like a young boy. "

"This is a kid!?You were destroyed by the magic of a child!?

After hearing the message, Dusseia shouted in dismay.

If you're dealing with Seiran or the National Magic Master, it's hard to believe that a completely unknown child has broken the First Class Barrier Regiment (Wall Alter).

Arias has a rather surprising atmosphere.

"What kind of magic was that?

"Perhaps it's magic to shoot black debris in pieces."

It was Düsseia who raised doubts about the words of the message.

"With such magic? Are you telling me that magic enough to shoot the rubble broke that defensive magic?

"Ha. That was so harsh... the horsemen under Pork Nadar who preceded them blew apart, and then penetrated the defensive magic behind them, killing the First Magic Force... that the Nadar army, one of its miserable and rampant magic, was terrified and stopped."

The soldier with the message in his mouth is shaking blue.

I guess it was replaced by the magic I was exposed to.

Leon noticed the words that the message had spoken.

"But why did you probably conclude before explaining?If you've definitely seen it, you can't say that. "

"That's... the rubble that was fired was so fast that I didn't know what magic to eject..."

"How fast is that?

"I think it was even faster than the arrow shot from the crossbow.Therefore, even with the cavalry's manoeuvre, we could not avoid it in time. "

And Arias raised his voice.

"Faster than a crossbow?Such an idiot..... "

"Lord Arias?

Leon called out to ask, but one Arias did not answer.

I was surprised at her stunned voice, but as if she had heard something impossible, she remained stiffened after listening to the message.

After a while of silence, I opened my mouth as if I were thinking.

"... Your Excellency. Among the magical knowledge of our silver stars is the method of [Falcon Fall]."

"What's that?

"The content is not so hard.It is a magical law that cannot produce magic at speeds beyond the speed of falcons. "

Once Arias is separated there, he goes into persuasion.

"You can't exceed the speed of a falcon.Mainly, when creating ejection magic, magicians are hindered by its laws.This happens because the surgeon himself cannot imagine more than a sudden drop in the falcon. "

"Can't imagine?

"That's right. Think of offensive magic.Isn't the offensive magic of the ejection system mostly a mimic of bows and arrows, spears and stone-throwing?The magic of the ejection system mimics those things because of the limitations of human imagination. "

That's what Arias said, making a strange voice.

"It's really hard to imagine things you've never seen before.Even if embodied as magic, the effect is not stable if the imagination is ambiguous.Therefore, the magician compensates with observation and experience in order to imagine magic.I can observe and experience things well, understand the events well, and for the first time I can create stable magic. "

"Hmm... I'm not a wizard, so I don't know around here."

That said, turning to his direct wizard, he nodded to confirm Arias' story.

"Of course, it doesn't apply to everything.The magic of the wind itself, which has speed, is excluded, and if it is something that is easy to imagine or associate, it is possible to build just imagination.But as it gets more effective, it gets harder.... "

"In other words, does Lord Arias want to say that most of the magic you eject mimics what you just mentioned?

"Yes, and with that in mind, the fastest thing we can see is a sharp drop for falcons to hunt prey on the ground, and the equivalent that has the opportunity to be widely seen is an arrow fired from a crossbow."

"And because no one can see anything that has more speed, the magic that produces cannot be made any faster.That's why they named it "The Falcon Fall."

"Your Excellency is right."

"I see, the limits of human imagination....."

In fact, one of the state-appointed magicians, Lava Iron Mage Crave Arvent, was burned inside his body to create the magic under his alias.

This would be an example of how I felt, but thus exceeded the limits of my imagination.

"In the Messenger's story, there was certainly so much speed.By breaking the law, the magician knows something that exceeds the [Falcon Fall] speed.Specifically..... "

"There is a phenomenon or a flying device with a faster ejection rate than a crossbow...."

Ruri

When Arias affirmed, Dusseia looked stunned.

"Stupid! Such a thing is more threatening than magic....."

"Yes, that's why I said the same thing to the Lieutenant General."

My lord.

"... I think we need to look into this as soon as possible."

As they roared at the unmissable facts, the message rushed back into their ranks.

"My Lord General! Polk Nadar is requesting reinforcements!

"... sooner than planned."

"Your Excellency, may I help you?

"That's right...."

We cannot ignore the Count's request, no matter how much it is for manoeuvre.The Count cannot abandon the possibility of retreating to his cuteness, so it is necessary to keep his allies at bay for some time.

But it's also true that I want to wait a little longer.

... we have time.Things are going as planned, and there is still no sign of reinforcements to the Crusaders.

If an unexpected intruder doesn't come in on the board, all we have to do is wait for the plane.

It would be important to wait until the count's reinforcements are critical or delay them even if they are released.

(Reinforcements...?

That's where I remember the oddness.

It's not about reinforcements to the Count, it's about reinforcements to the Crusaders.

- Still no reinforcements?

Yes, there are still no reports of reinforcements in the Crusaders.

There can't be any such thing.

Lieutenant Coast.

"Ha!"

"Apart from the count's request for reinforcements, have you received any reports?

"Yes. What kind of report should it be?

"Reinforcement for the Enemy.Have you seen any soldiers sent from King's Landing or any other city?

"You're not listening."

"Not a bit?

"Yes, at all."

…………

Strange. I am the one who set up the operation without reinforcements to the Enemy, but the reinforcements will not stop the first magician unit alone.

Even if the flood tribes and Gransher put military pressure on the kingdom, the kingdom has the defense not only of the national army, but also of the local aristocracy.It's impossible that we can't send reinforcements at all.We can't afford to keep them safe in case of an invasion.

... the Count certainly said he didn't have reinforcements.

However, it is also assumed that some reinforcements will be forthcoming.

Yes, the kingdom doesn't have to move soldiers on a large scale, but it only has to move the great warrior, the State-appointed magician, alone.In the first place, even if we had just moved a few national magicians, we should be able to wipe out some endless armies such as the Nadar army easily.

We won't be able to cure such a situation unless we share the reward with the military aristocrats.

Still, one or two people should move, and it's impossible in a situation that they won't even do it.

Liver opens his mouth.

"Do you have any concerns?"

"I'm worried about the lack of reinforcements."

"There have been no such reports from the Crusaders or spies that have lurked throughout the Kingdom."

I still don't have reinforcements.

But the opponent is the Thinl Cross Road.If the situation is not moving, is it something that shows such laziness in a state where it is impossible?

We will not be able to read our intentions correctly, but we cannot afford to ignore the possibility that the Empire is behind the Polk Nadar.

Then we can plot a plan so that the situation doesn't matter what happens.

If we can think of it, we can move our soldiers behind closed doors to the crusaders.

And then...

(... force the opponent to overwhelm his disadvantage at once in a short period of time.)

Sure. The status quo is favorable to the Crusaders, but if you're assuming disadvantage, you should.

We may be able to move a detached team back and forth, but doing so could reduce Seireans' chances.In that case, it would be best to have a large force added to the crusaders and put them under the command of Seyran.

Probably already in the march phase by now.

Hit the cane in your hand against your palm.

"- Düsseia, it's faster than planned, but I'm going to let you move.I was afraid I wouldn't make it. "

"General...."

"You take a big detour with your squad and go into the woods behind the Enemy.Never be distracted. "

"Behind the forest?But then.... "

Perhaps the Nadar army will be destroyed in the meantime.

As I thought about explaining to him, I heard a gorgeous laugh from behind.

"Bwahahaha!!Is that where I come in?

... why is it that you always have a stupid extremity, but you only have a sharp sense of smell when this happens?

Looking at Barg Gurba, I thought it was a stupid mix.

"Barg, I wanted you to never let the Nadar defeat move..."

Well then. Isn't it over if it collapses?

"The Nadar army.But which army are we?

"Such a thing... oh, so much so.I mean, I don't really care about Nadar. "

That's what I'm talking about.

"So, what do I do?

"I want you to kick the front-line infantry out like this."

"Mm-hmm. Good.That suits me better.I'm relieved you didn't tell me to go to sleep to get that pig out. "

"Can you do something like that?"

"Buwahahaha!!

Barg Gurba picks up two of his best axes and laughs like the sound of the earth.

And he pointed to the left side of the battlefield.

"Bulg, break the left-wing enemy line.Please. "

"Oh! I'll take care of it!

A reliable voice comes back from Barg Gurba.

However, on the other hand, Dusseia seems to be restless.Call him so close.

Düsseia, give me a little ear.

"Ha...."

Tell Düsseia about the operation and have a conversation for a while.

Eventually he opened his eyes to surprise.

"That's...."

"In other words, everything is within my expectations.Is that okay? "

As a precaution, Düsseia made a stubborn gesture and said, "Ha!indicates an understanding.

Then an unexpected man raised his voice.

― Now, let me join you.

"Lord Arias. Why would you do that?Weren't you willing to be actively involved?

"I just need a little help.Perhaps we can meet the magician who pierced the [Wall Alter] made by Dr. Doc... we were just pierced.It's not good to make a report. "

I would like to say that it would be difficult for her to move on her own, but it was also a fact that she was grateful for it.

"... then, I'd like to ask you to turn around when the Master of the Nation has appeared."

"I see. I'll take care of the Master of the Nation when he shows up."

After such an exchange, we head back to Dusseia.

"Go, Düsseia Lubanka. Be sure to take down the Prince of Rhinol with your courage.If you succeed, Seiran's neck will be yours.That way, you might get what you want. "

"... are you sure?

"I have no taste in taking advantage of my subordinates.Go on. "

"Ah, do as His Excellency says!Follow me, elites of the Empire!

In the eyes of Düsseia, the fire is lit.That is because he bears his family.

As Leon, I want him to be active in the future.If we can do better here, we may be able to dispel the anxiety about the subtle position of the clan.

For the first time he could get rid of such grief, he would be able to walk the path to the general.

With that in mind, he turned his back on Düsseia, who had driven off on horseback.

Livel raised his voice as if he had eaten bubbles.

"Hey, General! General Gurba!

"What happened to him?- Hmm? "

"Wait, to the right, not to the left!Running horses toward the Seirian Guards!

"Ah, you stupid bastard... don't you know right or left?This will get us out of here before Düsseia turns around.... "

Leon gave instructions to his men to stop him, holding his head on to Barg Gulba's actions.
