287 Stories Prelude to the First World War - You've Met the Enemy -

Out on a power reconnaissance while gathering intelligence, Jiji was blasting the streets as he clustered into the wind attribute magic himself. The streets were idle without seeing the effects or shadows of the Second Prince's revolt, and it was the second one that had been running for a while, but when it came off the side of the streets, it began to run towards the woods.

"Okay, there's no one around. I'm sure the story of Logion is that this forest is supposed to be a buffer in the territory of the first and second princes."

When he found a forest that was likely to be a base as he muttered to himself, he used earthly attribute magic to make multiple rooms while digging holes, and the largest room was ready to cook by installing an expanded room of magic props.

"I knew I had to keep the biggest room for cooking. Do you want to make it a little wider?

Xuji nodded contentedly as he enlarged the room he planned to become a dining room whining alone, placing a transfer magic formation in one of the rooms.

"All right! Now you're all set for the streets. Do you want to call Karenarien and Melta Cro for now"

When he jumped on the Transfer Magic Formation, he called in three people who were in the territorial capital.

"What's wrong? Suddenly called in?

"Hey, do me a favor"

Among the three people who were summoned in a hurry at the Transition Magic Formation, when Melta asked the question on behalf of him, Xuji began his explanation with a loud nod.

This place is a forest that serves as a buffer between the first and second princes' territories of the Empire. I've been scouting the area, but haven't seen anyone since I entered the territory of the first prince. Princes Anders told them that they were marching on schedule.

"If you were marching on schedule, wouldn't that be a problem? You called Chlo or me on purpose because you felt the need for reconnaissance, right?

"Sure, we're on schedule, but there's too many people out there. You're worried it might be a dangerous condition for a moment. That's why I called the two of you because I thought you needed a detailed investigation. You'd be invincible if you had Karenarien's ability to foe and Crow's ability to alert. Ask Melta to manage this place. If two people don't return after five days, or if the alarm set up at the entrance sounds, I want this base sealed off and returned to the territorial capital. The only way to seal it is to crush this demon stone."

With a light explanation but a serious expression, when the three felt the seriousness of the situation, they began to act in order to play their part.

"And that's a good march. It's about half a day to the castle town of Vitus, where the first prince, His Royal Highness Knut, said."

"And I didn't know you wouldn't even pick me up. Isn't His Highness Knut rude? Don't you wonder what this response is like when Prince Anders is rushing to reinforcements himself?

The Anders, who left the village of base 1, were feeling a little anxious, recalling that Vitus had allowed a power reconnaissance, a suggestion from Koji, despite a smooth march.

"Hasn't Count Lyoge been returned?

"Ha! It doesn't look like it yet"

Anders, who confirmed to the soldier who was beside him, was getting a little more anxious in reply that he had not yet returned. It was Amandus watching how it was, but he whispered to Anders as he approached him quietly.

"Your Highness. If His Highness looks too anxious, it affects the morale of the soldiers."

"Oh. I'm sorry. Right...... dude. Don't you see what dinner would be like without Count Lyoge? Again, make sure you're not back."

The nobles who were around Anders' voice and the soldiers were also dispelling the atmosphere where a mild laugh was happening and they were about to be engulfed in tension. Suddenly, until I heard an emergency report of a soldier who came rolling into the tent.

"It's an enemy attack! Instructions!

The Anders both gave instructions to intercept and rushed out to the enemy soldiers.

◇□◇□◇□

"How are the enemies?

"Ha! There are about 100 soldiers coming this way, mainly large demons like Wyburn, from the east."

In the midst of forming a defensive formation, Anders, who received reports from soldiers, was dismayed at the low number of enemy soldiers. But the moment I actually saw the enemy soldiers and demons coming at me with my own eyes, I issued a command to scream, aware that my mouth dried rapidly.

"All armies! Retreat to the first village! Leave 200 men behind and retreat immediately! Fire and dispose of any food other than the minimum required!

"What's wrong? Sudden withdrawal, etc. Plus, dispose of food and equipment, etc. We can't report him to King Marcel without a fight."

In response to an aristocratic inquiry that approached him with an uncomfortable look at the sudden withdrawal order, Anders replied, looking at the aristocracy with an irritated look, screaming with a look that just said it was useless to explain.

"You don't think anything when you look at that one! That big demon is Wyburn, but he's zombied! Count Lyoge might be able to crusade alone, but he's got two zombies. Your lord will crusade you!

"Yes, no. and excuse me."

The nobility, overwhelmed by Anders' sword curtain, remembered the horrors of the zombified demons and began to prepare for their retreat with a bright blue face.

If the lower-ranked demons were zombied, they could be crusaded with fire attribute magic, fire arrows, etc., but when the higher-ranked demons were zombied, they needed to be destroyed until they were completely immobile without being able to crusade with semi-permeable fire.

"Your Highness, who is the general of your Highness?"

Those who were around answered Amandus with silence. It was Anders looking around, but when he gave a discouraged look that he didn't see fit with anyone, he tried to raise his name to serve as his lord himself with a determined look.

"If no one seems to be here, I..." I'm in awe. With this Amandus, Your Highness's nomination, we will step on it until everyone returns to base. ""

Amandus bought the palace out loud so as to block it in the middle of Anders' words. The aristocrats around him had a horrible look on his face, but Anders desperately tried to stop him when he looked blue.

What can I say to the Duke of Harold if you need anything?

"With that said, what can I say to King Marcel if anything happens to His Highness? Rest assured. I'm not going to die here. Because of this, Count Lyoge gave me the Devil's Sword. Hey, right?

'Yes, Master and I will have a 15% chance of survival if we serve our lord. Prince Anders has zero chance of survival if he stays.'

"You don't have to say that much"

With a bitter smile at the devil's sword's answer, Amandus began to form a defensive formation when he called the knights under his command.
