Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Episode Four Hundred: Thruke Defense Battle

The Kingdom of Gandhia. Zalwarn side. Slook.

It was on April 16th that this city, multiplied by Gisele Court's conspiracy and subjugated by Gibelle's True Reapers, was recaptured at the hands of the Lems.

Then the lems stayed in Thruke and guarded their surroundings. Nagrasia, a city in southern Zalwarn, was still under the control of the Ziberian army, because it was likely that the Ziberian army had not given up control over Zalwarn.

"Gibbel's people have to give up."

Esq-Soma said that because the Lems cannot leave Thruke unless the Zibel army gives up. As an esc, you must have wanted to leave Thruke immediately, and join the PLA main unit. I'm sure you'll encounter a more arduous battlefield on the way to the PLA main unit than to hold Zibel troops in throughs, and I'm more happy with that for the "Sworddemon” esc. He believes that the battlefield is where he is and that achieving results on the battlefield leads to an assessment of the Setuna army. Even for the main Setuna, the Setuna army needs to raise their ratings.

Although it is unclear why Esq is putting that far into Setuna, it was something that I didn't feel bad about for Lem. Setuna is an irreplaceable one for Rem and only one Lord. It was only natural that you couldn't think of him and hate the escs fighting for him.

"If you don't give up, let me give it up"

"What do we do?

"How about we attack Nagrasia?

"In this small number?

"Of course."

"You gotta be kidding me."

Esq laughed and didn't tackle it, but Rem meant it half the time.

Thruke was dominated by a total of about a hundred troops naming the True Reaper Corps, but the story was that Nagrasia had a 2,000-strong legion in it: the Red Horn Combat Regiment. The Lems are less than thirty in number, and there is so much difference in quantity that many are not necessarily passive. No matter how strong the Sydney Squad is, they don't think they can win just fine. Rem knew that too, but I was wondering if he could still figure it out.

There are Reapers and Swordsmen and Summoned Armed Users.

Even if we are losing on number, we are outnumbered on quality.

That's what Rem suggested after thinking about it, but it was rejected by Esq once, and nothing more.

During their stay in Thruke, Dorin-Nog and Remil-Folk Ray of the Sydney Battle Squad trained daily, as much as possible, so that they could handle the summoning armies they had acquired in the earlier battles. Esq says he can now intuitively use Swordcaine, but normally, a summoning arm doesn't seem to be an easy thing to use, and neither Remill nor Doreen were struggling.

Doreen named herself an air talker in an ultra-long range bow and trained her as hard, day after day as possible so she could use it. Though I didn't wake up to it initially, that's what I should call a bow celebrity, he started getting the hang of it while shooting arrows every day, and after ten days, he was starting to shoot through his goals quite accurately. Arrows released by air talkers reached spare time from the western to eastern edges of the slook and showed enough power to shatter targets placed on the walls.

Remill, on the other hand, had forced the Holly symbol to struggle. The ability of the Holy Symbol has been found to some extent. It is the ability to project a mark from the Holy Symbol, and those marked with it improve physical ability and become an extraordinary force of battle as soon as possible. Not only that, but the more subjects with the markings they added, the stronger they seem to be the holders of the Holly symbol, which made Nada-Raja a vicious show of power. But it didn't make sense in front of Reaper.

Apparently, granting the mark of the Holy Symbol was not an easy thing, and as it stands, it meant that Remill could grant the mark to both of us, and to that extent he could not feel his own enhancement either.

"I guess I'll have to take the time to remember all this."

"Perhaps we should speak to the armed summoners."

"Right."

To that end, we must rendezvous with the armed summoners, for which the Zibel army of Nagrasia was in the way, and that is why Rem proposed Nagrasia's strategy, but considered the difference in power and was rejected.

But on the morning of the twenty-seventh, about ten days after doing so, news reached Thruke that the Zibel army was approaching. It's coming from Nagrasia.

I don't know.

I heard the news. Esq spit it out because too many days have passed since the recapture of Thruke. If we are going to dominate Thruke again, we should have moved the army immediately after we learned of the defeat of the True Reaper unit, and we should not have given the Lems a chance to recover. But the Zibel army, while understanding the total annihilation of the True Reaper unit, did not immediately move the army. If it is from Nagrasia, then there are two days, and it is not impossible to point the troops.

"I guess there are circumstances there, too."

Dawlin stroked his long beard, and went.

"What's the intent? Let's go after Thruke.

"... Oh, you mean that"

"Yes?"

"Didn't the PLA HQ even come in in in return for reaching south of Logner?

"... I see"

"Now that Logner is being recaptured, he says he's dropping his throat to control Zalwarn."

"Because you're in the right place."

"Oh."

Esq made a mess of it.

If the Zibel army were to multiply the civil unrest in Gandia and make the Zalwarn side our thing, it was not unlikely that it was moving not only the Nagrasian forces, but also other forces at the same time. If the forces of Fort Gallon or Sumaada are to push us to this throne with the forces of Nagrasia, that is what makes it a fierce battle.

In that case, the power difference is overwhelming.

Speaking of the Rems, I may not even be able to resist.

But Esq laughs invincibly. And when I ordered all Sydney Battle Squad members to prepare for interception, they began to prepare themselves for battle.

"I don't know if it's bad enough to feed the Jivel army the pain here. Right."

"You're right."

"I'll leave it to the sword ghost bastard to play in the squad."

Esq told us to abandon the untrained.

Thruke had about five hundred men coming in from the second legion of the Zalwarn side of the army between the time of the recapture and today, and the Lems' strength had increased more than initially. Regardless, there is no such thing as command of the Second Legion on the Lems, but details of the Thruke defense were arranged, stating clearly that the Second Legion Deputy Chief Sinon-Berill would work with the Lems to hit the enemy in a meeting held with the approaching Gibelle army.

Details of enemy forces approaching Thruke were revealed on the 28th of the following morning.

Again, not only from Nagrasia, but also Sumaada, the Gibelle army of Fort Gallon was headed this way, with a total of more than 3,000 large troops fleshing through.

"That's a lot, dude"

Esq looked under his eyes from the castle wall on the east side of Thruke, feeling frightened. Under your eyes, looming enemy soldiers also look like waves. Of course, I've seen more enemy troops, and Kruselk's Demon King Army and others weren't to this extent, but that's it.

This time, we don't have many allies.

"Three thousand to five hundred. Overwhelmingly unfavourable in numbers."

Doreen stroked her mustache and raised her bow. His appearance with a summoning weapon named Air Talker is like. The wind blowing through shakes his long beard hard.

"Compared to the battle with Walal, it's a long way off."

"Nevertheless, all of Setuna and Lion's Tail were together at that time."

Remill, by the way, has the Holly symbol in his hand. She said that she hadn't even thought about it, such as being a biological warrior who would hold a cane, but now she was starting to act consciously as a user of the Holy Symbol.

The mark of the Holly symbol was supposed to be engraved on the two squad members. A decision has been made that it would be better to increase the number of strong pawns than to bottom up the two by granting the mark to Esq and Dorin. Because I don't think there's going to be a dramatic increase in maneuvers where I've got a subpoena armed and even stronger esc and dorin.

"Oh. You can't do that this time."

Esq gets Swordcaine. At first glance, it appears only to be a short wand, a summoning arm capable of generating a blade of light at the will of the user.

"To the two amateurs of the Summoning Army, there's one thing I haven't been able to use, even though I'm used to it - you're the only one I can count on, Reaper."

Esq glanced at me. Rem was just a little surprised by an unexpected word.

"Is it me?

"Lord Rem, I'm counting on you."

"I was counted on"

Rem smiled, kind of happy.

Eventually, it was after 10: 00 a.m. on the 28th that the Zibel army made its way to the eastern side of Thruke. At that time, the formation on the slook side was also over, with numerous archers waiting on the walls, waiting for the moment when the enemy troops would be in range.

Of course, troops are deployed on the ground.

Three hundred of the five hundred members of the Second Army Regiment on the Zalwarne side were waiting with the Sydney Battle Squad outside the walls of Thruke. Total, three hundred and twenty-five. That alone confronts nearly ten times the enemy's power. It was not strange that there was something trembling in fear, but the face of the Sydney Battle Squad was not afraid of anyone as one. Instead, it was a flair such as the warrior tremor never stops, and no one seemed to even think about dying in this battle.

I had to wonder how reliable that seemed to Rem and how Setuna had made the right decision to add them to the distribution.

"It's about time."

At the head of the ground unit, Esq is there. He produced a blade of light when he put Swordcaine overhead. The blade of light produced at the tip of the short cane swells with a brilliant glow, reaching far overhead. Not for attack. It's a signal.

Signal toward his stomach with a bow on the walls and waiting for the time of the attack.

Enemy troops are still not usually within reach of the bow. but although Dorin-Nog's bow air talker is a subpoena weapon and its ability has not been fully elucidated, Lem also knew for sure that arrows could gain an overwhelming flight distance and would reach at leisure from the walls to enemy army positions. That's why Esq gave the signal.

Attack faster than enemy forces approach, reducing the number of enemy soldiers, and terrorizing the enemy forces. It was Esq's idea, and Lem agreed, that he would be able to recommend the fight in his favor at all by doing so.

Then, earthly smoke went up ahead, and I heard screams and yells from the enemy formation.

Doreen unleashed an arrow.

"Bastards, let's go!

Esq roared, and the Sydney Battle Squad squadrons continued.

When Rem learned to do that and raised his voice, he was running out with “Reaper”.

The Thruke defense battle has begun.

Lems When ground troops were closing in on enemy forces, Dorin's unleashed arrows were causing numerous damage to the rear of the enemy formation, causing disruption to enemy forces' movements. It was the rear that was attacked. It is not surprising that something appears to suspect that enemy troops may have appeared in the rear in the way of damage as if it were the day they were hit in the back. Regardless, the arrows are released from above the Thruke Wall, and if you look closely, you can see that, in the first place, the speed of the arrows emitted by the air talkers is not something that can be captured by the eyes of a constant person. When you realize it, the arrows are shooting through your allies and destroying the ground. Even if you suspect an attack from the rear and the movement of the troops has been dull, maybe it's something you can't help.

And that's exactly what Esq was after, and the Sydney Battle Squad led by Esq arrived with a slow-moving enemy army in sight. And Zalwarn's second legion follows. The enemy is three thousand. Three hundred on your side. Overwhelmingly unfavourable on the number, but accustomed to overshadowing that disadvantage.

"Call me from the guy who wants to die!

Esq tells him invincibly, swinging Swordcaine through the sideburns. A great blade of light swept away the enemy's avant-garde with ease, causing numerous enemy soldiers to be torn apart from each shield. There the warriors of Sydney penetrate and inflict mortal wounds. Among other things, Remill and the two men who were awarded the mark on her were amazing, and the battle for nothing like a difference in quantity was enough to create upset in the enemy formation. When the Zalwarn side enters there, it creates a situation of war that seems very unlikely to be three thousand to three hundred. The war situation leans toward the Lems, even though the Zibel army is overwhelmingly more advantageous if only in numbers.

Rem was a Rem, embodying six “reapers” from Zero to Land, raising a large number of enemy soldiers to blood festivals. If the Zero slashes with a black sword, the Zero throws a pair of battle wheels to tear the enemy apart, and the Reference swings a long stick and runs through the enemy formation. The double-edged spear of the Wang chopped up the enemy soldiers, and after the Wu ran with a short knife in both hands, the meat chunks and the finished ones remained. The AUTO ARM of the Land is powerful enough to drill a large hole in the ground, shattering enemy soldiers.

"This is the Reaper Squad. Gibbel, please leave it with me."

Rem himself said such a thing, cleaving the enemy soldiers with a dark sickle in his hand.

It was Lem's ability to create a Reaper unit by himself. That and this are the abilities gained by assimilation with the Dark Dolls created by Setuna. Previously, I could only invoke any one of them. By assimilating it with the Dark Doll, "Reaper” was integrated into the symbol. The Trumpet became a complete “Reaper” and far outweighed all “Reapers” if only by power. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to use the “Reaper" separately, but if you need power as this time, it may be better to differentiate the number 3 and move multiple “Reapers” at the same time.

"" Reaper "…" Reaper "!?"

"Yes, I am the Reaper. It's not like the fake reaper who occupied Thruke the other day."

Tell him, Gibbel, and snap the neck of the soldier.

Gibbel is the country where Lem was born and raised. but I didn't love the country or anything. Instead, I even hated him. I could only stay in that country because I couldn't have lived without it.

Curse.

A curse called Craig Zem-Midnas was tying her to Gibelle.

When Craig died and Rem received his third raw, the curse had disappeared and could be lost. Tied her up instead is a new contract. New promises. Something much gentler and much deeper than Craig's curse. Fundamentals of life. A bond tied deep within the soul. That's why she fights today.

The lems were pushing only in the beginning. When the enemy forces regained their calm, the overwhelming by number began. Casualties began to appear on my side, to the point where I could be crushed by numbers as I stood.

"Well done, I'll pull!

Esq, without hesitation, ordered retreat.

It was, naturally, Lem who served as my lord. On the occasion of the military council, it was hoped that the face of the Sydney Battle Squad was the one who should serve as the hall, but it was decided by Lem with a single voice from Esq. Rem doesn't die when he dies, but the lives of the Sidonian warriors are one. Not so easy to replenish, such as fierce warriors. You can't lose it as an esc, and that's the same for a lem. The Sydney Battle Squad is an important subordinate of Setuna. It is also the force of the Setuna army. The loss of the Sydney Battle Squad can only mean that Setuna's military strength will be reduced.

Regardless, that's not why I bought my lord and left, but partly because I am immortal.

Rem moved backwards with the “Reapers” as his allies began to retreat, building a wall of “Reapers” between them and the enemy forces. Lem and the six Reapers make their own gains and hold back the waves of enemy soldiers. The Zibel army stopped, perhaps because the name of Reaper Rem was so pervasive in the Zibel army, or because many of them were hearing the name of the Reaper unit's thunder. Or is it because you were asking about the death of the True Reaper Squad?

"What are you doing! Go after him! Go after him!

"Pursuit!"

"Pursuit!

A voice echoing from the rear marches the Zibel army again.

"If you'd stop here, I'd like something good."

Rem glanced backwards as he gently swirled the Great Sickle. The distance from the allied forces is there away, but you'd better buy some more time. Re-facing forward. Countless arrows were flying in. Silence, forward. Arrows tear skin and pierce clothes. but she ignored it. Ignore even and respond to impending enemy soldiers. If you wave down the sickle and break the enemies in front of you in two, you will further straighten them out and despair the left and right enemies as well. On both sides, the "Reapers” were killing enemy soldiers as they danced, so much so that they wondered if Lem could be overwhelmed by himself if he continued to fight like this.

Killing an enemy soldier to some extent stopped the attack. He understood that it made no sense to hit the Reaper opponent directly from the front, intensifying the shooting by the archers. but that's pointless too. No matter how much you can shoot with an arrow, you just feel the pain. Then there's no way we can destroy Rem.

Rem had “Reaper” check the rear and grasp that the escs had arrived in place.

(This place is as maneuvered)

Although it was not a bad idea to attempt the extermination of the Zibel army by one Rem.

Rem retreated with the thought of getting his hair pulled back. The Zibel army immediately struck out in pursuit. Remaining Rem suddenly began to retreat. It is only natural to doubt measures and strategies. But it's not if you're stopping your legs, it's the only way forward, rather than if the Zibel army's purpose is to dominate Thruke.

"That's Lord Rem."

When Rem reached the Esques, Esques greeted him with those words.

"You've never worked worse than the name of Reaper."

is, Remill. You're getting used to handling Holly symbols, and the room is starting to appear on your expression.

"There's nothing to praise."

"Looks happy for the words"

"Yeah, well."

Rem laughed and gave it back, looking back at the enemy army. The Zibel army is slowly approaching, wary of traps and plots. It's only a matter of time before you make contact with this one, but no matter what, you don't have to make contact. Because the rain of the arrows poured down on the enemy lines when the majority of the enemy troops went into place and the enemy avant-garde captured the Lems in sight. It wasn't just Dawlin's arrows, but two hundred archers who deployed on the walls slammed the arrows in unison. The uninterrupted rain of arrows confused the enemy forces. It would be a source of confusion to only be careful on the path and not take into account the range of archers.

"Ooh, it's working great."

"Will this make it a little easier"

"Just a few more pushes and you'll be back."

What tactics should I take to mask the difference in power and win? In the military conference that Esq opened, it was all thought about. Rem was rejected by Esq, although he came up with a proposal to go in alone. Lem, being a solo warrior is because as an esc we are bored, and we also said that then we have no existential significance of our own.

It was this inducement that was conceived on top of it, and that this would allow Lem, the Sydney Battle Squad, and the Second Army Regiment on the Zalwarn side to have flowers.

The rain of the arrows did not stop, but neither did the enemy soldiers thrust through it. But where a small number of troops have protruded, it was just about Esq and Rem responding, and the troops that have protruded were just about getting paid back.

The enemy forces, hating the arrows, scattered their armies. The arrows were pouring down intensively in one place. The cheap idea that if the troops were divided, that would disperse the objects of the arrows alone and the damage would be reduced ended in vain just because they had not escaped the range. The archers on the walls concentrated the arrows at one point and instantly devastated a dispersed army of enemies.

The Zibel army began to withdraw where they lost about a third of their fighting power. Thruke, I guess you've decided it hurts to lose any more fighting power just to control one.

Rem and the others, as planned, began pursuing in small numbers.

They chased him like a ghost, devastated the Gibelle army's palace army, and thoroughly slammed the attack so that he would never feel like attacking Thruke again.

When the Rems returned to Thruke, details of the damage on the enemy's side had been revealed.

"There are a thousand and twenty-two dead in the army of Gibelle. In contrast, we have twenty-three dead."

Twenty-three dead?

The rapporteur's Zalwarne soldier looked suspicious in one of Esq's words when he heard the report. Also, I guess I learned to pull and hunt for the word. We fought 3,000 enemy troops. With only ground power, the difference in force was close to a hundred times greater. So it is rather surprising that only twenty-three people were killed. You could have said it was too little. I mean, it was as bright as that, but I think, nevertheless.

The Zibel army was weak, that's not to say.

Surely there was not one of the armed summoners, but it went too well nonetheless.

"Well, I'm pretty sure it worked. As far as I'm concerned, I didn't want to get one dead man out."

When Esq added it that way, Zalwarn soldiers also looked convinced.

Rem never thought Esq would think of that, but thought of discovering his new side.
