Divine Capital Astaire
It is the center of the sacred republic that bears the name of the goddess.
The outer wall is a symbol of development.
The exterior walls, from a few meters to a few tens of meters, protect against monsters and enemies. And a reassurance to the people.
Astaire, the capital of God, consists of seven outer walls.
At first there was only one outer wall. However, the population increased and the margins of the economy combined to transform it into a gigantic figure after a long month.
It is a mega-city that is home to millions of people of all races, young and old.
Cities are safe and secure, and slums and such rarely exist in large cities. It is a city that is fully developed by a high tax system and a high level of welfare with the cooperation of Astean believers.
Although it can be said to be an ideal, it can be said that it exists because it is equipped with one major pillar: religion.
There are other characteristics of the god capital, Astaire.
A huge temple in the middle of the city. It is located in the middle of a big city, but it is the largest of the true Aztecs on the continent.
Green hair flutters with the wind.
At the temple, Sufi was surrounded by believers.
Everyone is rushing down the corridor.
"There was a disturbance in the Waila Empire."
One of the believers brings information.
There is something like a report in my hand.
I heard that Master Ruina is dead.
"--No, he's alive."
Reuters are coming to Spiffy.
There was a bizarre group right next to Reuters. An armed group of twenty, but the battle makes even the amateur Sfi feel a bit out of order.
"Is that him...?"
Spi feels uncomfortable.
Even assuming that Ruina was the Lord of one country, Reuters' careless behavior was careless.
Reuters smiled gently as if he were smiling.
"Yes, Ruina has been tormenting her people irrationally." You know, a lot of wars. That's why it led to this coup d 'état. "
Is this a coup?
"Seems so, Sufi-sama." Righteousness is on the coup side. As a sacred republic, and as a true Astheist, I think you should support me. ”
I think Spi is suspicious.
“Isn't gathering information a precondition?”
It's a prudent attitude.
I know that things are not easy to decide.
"That's what we're talking about here." Rest assured, we have a connection to the people who caused the coup. ”
"Isn't it too thoughtful? It was yesterday, wasn't it?"
"I was expecting this to happen to the Waila Empire."
Reuters smiles.
It looked like a masked smile on the contrary, and Spi's suspicions deepened.
“Unless I at least have some idea of what it is, I can't decide on a true Aztec policy.”
"That's embarrassing. We must also convey our intentions to the Holy Republic."
“Then disclose what you know.”
Spiffy didn't pull it either.
Because she knows best how much authority and influence she has.
Behind Sufi's brain is an old Astheian religion that was ruled by demons.
Reuters comes up with a proposal.
"Let's do this." As I bring information to Sufi-sama, please give me authority. Now that the followers of the Weyra Empire are still suffering, we will do so in parallel to solve it at an early stage. ”
"Then, even if Reuters makes a mistake, can I correct it...?"
That's a good idea.
Reuters clutch at this compromise.
The air of the followers led by Spi and the troops led by Reuters is swallowed up.
(This is not the case if you're intercourse....)
Spi nodded.
Reuters is a sword sacred ordained by Astaire.
In addition, she has a long history in the guild, and she shows a loyal and serviceful attitude to Astaire every day.
"Very well, in my name, I authorize the use of the prerogatives that have been granted to me by the Holy Republic with regard to True Astheism. Unleash the power and virtue of the Sword Saint appointed by Lord Astaire."
Kanarazuya
It was the next cloth stone that Reuters hit.
The Weyra Empire is looming in the hands of other nations.
◆
It had been a week since Ruina's death was reported to the local authorities.
We were in a city on the outskirts of the Waila Empire.
Due to the trading routes with small neighboring countries, it is larger than a normal city and the roads are well-developed.
Ruina and Riff decided to use it as a base.
What do you see?
Yeah, it's like smoke, but it's magic.
Riff and I, standing on the outside wall, were asking questions.
I was told to visually check the brainwashing magic Imlari.
"Hmm, I knew it. This is the last place." It's harder to do because I'm increasing my distance than I expected. "
"It looks like a pretty powerful magic, but is it okay?" I knew I'd better break in alone. "
If all your allies turn against the enemy, it will be the end of the day.
However, Riff nodded with a reliability face as he stretched his chest to see if he had any thoughts.
"It's because of the peace of mind, because it's not the magic I created."... but it's not easy if it's always going to be like this. Brainwashing magic Imlari is the magic of the mind. Even if you don't apply it all the time, the effect will be maintained. "
If the effect is maintained, it means that it is okay to march outside.
So... wait a minute.
I've got a hunch in me.
"Both of you!" Ruina is calling! "
There is a voice from the underside of the outer wall.
Sheila.
They wave their hands and claim their existence.
Okay! I'm coming!
I looked at Riff and his face and went down the outer wall.
I had a hunch.
Once you've brainwashed, you can go outside.
That means we can get outside the scope.
"The troops of the Weira Empire have begun to move. The first army, three and four, and then eight, were waiting in the Imperial City."
Share the information Ruina has gathered.
Is it strong?
Nerim asks.
The military power of this era is beyond our knowledge.
"Strong. The strongest empire in the ranks, because it's the main force." The commanders of the First and Third Armies were Iraz and Bashina. I'm sure you know Zed, but what do you say? ”
Hmmm?
Suddenly, he was questioned and tilted his neck.
I think I've heard the name before, but I don't think so.
Bashina is a man who was originally ranked S
"Iraz is from a raw samurai family. I've served the Waila Empire for generations and served as a warlord."
Riff and Ruina say.
I still haven't gotten a pin.
Quenna came in from the side with an open face.
"Bashina is the one I met in the Holy Republic's Valor Test." Don't you remember? The one who was originally in the 10th Army and was demoted after being blown away by you. "
"Oh, I may have remembered somehow. Didn't you become a deputy warlord or something?"
"You were promoted." I didn't make a mistake except for one thing about Zed. "
I'm sorry.
Sheila raises her hand.
"So! Why did the army come all this way?" Did you find out? "
"Oh, I used the contact network and news to get a lot of news." "My Survival and Rendezvous"
"That's daring..."
Quena held her forehead back by Luina's rough behavior.
Sure, it's a way to lure people in.
You can't help it, can you? The opponent would be advantageous even if I took the time. So how many people are there in the guild? "
"There are one party with two S ranks and four parties with ten A ranks. If you include people of other ranks, there are hundreds of them."
"There aren't many of them." But is it okay to expect quality? "
"Of course. If you only have the numbers, ten thousand is hard." This time, quality was the main thing. But if there is a problem, will we not be able to make it to this battle in time? "
It doesn't make sense.
"Hahaha"
Rif scratched his cheek with a bitter smile.
Are we going to fight on our own then?
This is originally a trading hub city. Due to the proximity of neighbors, defensive capabilities and strength make it easier to fight.
In response to Ruina, there were also soldiers who were not suffering from brainwashing magic.
But Rif shook his head against my expectations.
"Hmph. It's time for me to do my part"
Rif put his hand on his chin and his face turned red.
Apparently, he was confident.
◆
Tens of thousands of humans emerge from beyond the horizon.
A march that rocks the ground.
The flag hasn't been raised, but the gear tells me it belongs to the Weyra Empire.
There was a cute little girl ahead of them.
She has purple hair down to her knees and golden, crisp eyes.
He is now the master of a guild that is named after all continents, and he was once called a wise man.
It's a big fishery ~
There is a brightness and how it murmurs as it blocks the dazzling sun with its hands.
It was a voice that had no fear of dust against a huge army that avoided even nature and monsters.
Well, do you want to do it?
Riff claps his hands and bread.
The magic was as fast as the speed of sound.
If Zide had seen it, the circle of undisturbed magical power would have been unfolded with the riff as its starting point.
(If this is delivered, the brainwashing will be lifted.)
Contrary to my desires, the magic of the riff clashed.
The circle that protected the army was unfolding at the same time.
This is equally magical.
It's built to react to the magic that removes brainwashing, not the type that inhibits magic power.
It was a fairly limited use, but it was the best defensive magic for us to use.
"It's tight." Do you have any defensive measures in place? "
The flames cover the air.
If it had been water, it would have fallen into the illusion of being struck by waves in the sea.
At least the magic that filled Rif's sight was activated.
They scorch and scorch the ground.
Obviously, it is too much to kill just one girl.
However, even that was ineligible this time.
The flames dispersed, leaving nothing but intact riffs.
"Damn, I'm in trouble."
I pay for the dirt on my bread and clothes.
There were no scratches even on the clothes.
You will feel the overwhelming difference in power, but the movement of the army will not stop.
The lack of agitation was a trace of the use of brainwashing magic.
The second and third magic were unleashed.
But it was a bad thing.
There it is.
Above the clouds, it was.
At first glance, it is a sphere that shines like a star.
That's Rif's [eye].
A third eye with a riff to expand the field of view.
What it saw was the presence of a force that cast magic.
"If these guys are the [disciples of Astaire]... don't be shy." Blow it off. - Windkill. "
When the riff falls into the mouth, something like a scarlet falls from the [eye].
However, it is stopped by a shadow that suddenly appears in mid-air.
Bashina Eilak
He used to be a top-ranked man in the guild, carrying an S-rank sign.
Bashina's sword touched the magic of the riff. A high-pitched tone echoes. At the same time, shock waves blew away people and trees.
Even the riffs, which were far away, had long hair.
What? I don't know. I don't know if I can stop you.
I was not expecting much, there was no surprise or remnant.
However, if the magic had touched the ground, the magic unit would have been wiped out.
That's why Bashina is here as an escort.
I could see the faces of the front men in Riff's sight.
The most prominent is the Irats Eye Buff. The First Warlord of the Waila Empire.
Hmm...
When Rif perceives it as an illusion, he disappears with the smoke. The next moment I thought that the black dot was rapidly approaching, it was packed at an instantaneous distance.
Nyali and Rif laugh.
"Metastasis"
A riff stood in the middle of the enemy force.
There are several triggers for metastasis.
As a major premise, you must know and imagine in advance where it will be transferred.
Then Riff knew where the enemy magic troops were coming. I was expecting it, so I was investigating the place beforehand.
The correct answer is no.
It is an extremely advanced magic that can be expressed in conjunction with the [Eyes] prepared in advance, and it is a genuine combat style that the riff rarely shows.
It's a magic for evacuation that is originally used for long-range combat.
Rif squeezes his shoulder.
Bassina in the air.
Iratz was at the distance of Riff.
Both of them are the main force of the army, and no one can fight the Riff at close range with the Magic Squad Guard.
Well...
Rif raises his index finger.
In the blink of an eye, a sphere of wind appeared from the fingertips.
It turned into several spears in a crooked and crooked shape.
There were countless spears on the sphere.
"Bye, 'Wind Spear'"
"I-It's this...!"
The spear jumps out of the sphere, turning it into the size it needs to kill.
Every part of it was skewered, and the Magic Squad was wiped out.
The opposing beings disappear, and Riff unleashes his brainwashing magic.
◆
We were in a camp tent.
Inside the tent were Ruina, Yui, Riff, and me and the rest of them.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" This is an illusion! I've never seen it before in my life! ”
Iratsu is lying flat as she hits her head on the ground.
It was against Luina Weira.
I am the Empress, my own boss.
Ruina was sitting on the sumptuous sofa and looking down at Iraz.
"Don't worry about it. If you're being manipulated, there's nothing you can do."
You guys.
There was also Bashina next to Iraz.
He was lying flat on the ground, as was Iraz.
He seems to show reflection to the point of overreacting rather than making a few mistakes.
I wonder if this is what it was like after you fought me.
The feeling of guilt grows unnecessarily.
I would rather not bow down so much if I didn't make a few mistakes, but I'm sure their loyalty has made it this far.
"That's not true." That's because it's not my magic. I can't resist an unusual amount of children. "
Riff smiles crookedly.
Although I was proud of myself, my surrounding eyes were cool.
In particular, the closest person was Ruina.
"If you hadn't made it in the first place, no one would have manipulated it."
"You idiot. If you hadn't, the Astaire wouldn't have trusted you."
It would have been nice to have more magic.
If so, should we have provided the magic that will blow up the Waila Empire?
"...... Tch"
Riff and Ruina are fighting the bees.
The relationship between the victim and the perpetrator seems indescribable because the riff is helping to restore the state of war.
Riff... are you reflecting?
Someday, Ruina was going to hit me so hard.
“So, what are your plans for the future?”
Irats asked in horror.
"This is how defensive forces gathered." Gather the unbrainwashed troops and the countries under your umbrella and launch a total battle. "
"Are you sure?" There are many forces who believe that we may be avenged by the Weyra Empire. If we take the time, the enemy will try to bring them in. ”
"At the time of the invasion of the Weyra Empire, the forces that would be frightened by the [Astorian] would have been captured." That would be a good trash cleanup. We have the Waila Empire, which has the strongest military power, and the Guild, which has the strongest fighting power-- "
Is this the strongest individual on the continent?
Iraz looks at me.
Perhaps it's a way of pointing out to me, but it's an 'individual'. It is not a way of treating people.
Because of his disgruntled attitude, Iraz turned away from me.
Well, if you think about it that much, I won't be able to speak up
"I'll leave you guys to watch your surroundings." We tell our allies to fly the flag of the Waila Empire, so avoid fighting each other. "
Got it.
Iraz and Bashina left the tent.
Riff says.
"I'm sure you know that I was hostile in this case." Now I can't go back. "
What, is that a tragedy?
Ruina tea.
It would be troublesome if the riffs were hostile here, but I'm sure they wouldn't.
"Don't be ridiculous. I was thinking about when the information that I wanted to know came out."
Then why don't you let Zeed spy on you?
Huh, is that me?
"It's all because of the peace of mind. It's a joke from Ruina." If you're going to use Zeed as a spy, you're going to get rampaged. "
I can't seem to imitate a spy, so I'm glad.
But now we are definitely going to be hostile to the [Astaire].
Thoria, Spiffy, and Phil were the ones I was thinking about.
